This Churro Cake combines the flavors of cinnamon-sugar churros with a soft, moist cake layered with creamy frosting. A perfect dessert for cinnamon lovers!
Equipment
- 9-inch cake pans greased and lined
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk room temperature
- 1 cup heavy cream for frosting
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar for frosting
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Spread frosting between layers and over the top of the cake. Dust with cinnamon.
Notes
- Optional Equipment: A cake turntable makes frosting easier.
- Customization: Drizzle with caramel for extra flavor.
