SNICKERDOODLE CRAZY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the interior of an 8 inch x 8 inch baking pan. Then line it with a large sheet of parchment paper. The parchment paper should be large enough to line the bottom and the sides. Don't worry if the parchment paper doesn't completely stick to the sides of the pan. Once the batter is finished mixing, the weight of the batter will help the parchment paper stick to the pan.
• Add flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt directly into baking pan. Whisk together until evenly combined.
• Make two small wells and 1 large well in the dry ingredients. Add vanilla to one small well and vinegar to the other small well. Add oil to the large well. Pour the water over the top and whisk everything until batter becomes smooth and evenly combined. Make sure to scrape all the flour from the bottom and the corners of the cake pan as flour tends to get stuck in those areas and you need to make sure all the flour is incorporated.
• Place cake into oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes (mine was done around 38 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top of the cake should bounce back when you apply light pressure.
• While cake is cooking, making the topping. Add cinnamon and sugar to a small bowl and whisk to evenly combine.
• When cake is done, sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the surface of the cake while the cake is still warm.
• Let cake cool completely before cutting and serving. You can serve as is, or top with frosting or ice cream.

SNICKERDOODLE CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom of each with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg white, milk and vanilla together in another medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high until light and fluffy. Add about a third of the flour mixture and beat on medium-low until incorporated. Now add a third of the egg-milk mixture and continue to beat on medium-low until incorporated, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Repeat with the remaining flour and egg-milk mixtures, finishing with the flour. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake until the cake bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in the cake pans on a rack.
• Make the buttercream: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water.
• Add the 3/4 cup sugar, cream of tartar, salt and egg whites, to the mixing bowl and whisk together by hand. Set the bowl above the boiling water and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar completely dissolves. Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Toss in a couple of chunks of butter at a time, making sure the pieces are incorporated before adding more. After all the butter is added, continue whisking on medium-high speed. The mixture will deflate and appear curdled. Continue whisking until the buttercream comes back together to form a smooth and spreadable consistency. Beat in 1 teaspoon cinnamon and vanilla.
• Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• To assemble: Slice each cake in half horizontally for a total of 4 cake rounds (set aside one of the bottom pieces for the top layer). Put 1 round on a cake stand or serving platter, and spread about 1 cup of the buttercream on top, all the way to the edge. Sprinkle with some of the cinnamon-sugar. Repeat with 2 more layers of cake, buttercream and cinnamon-sugar. Place the reserved cake round on top (browned-side up). Frost with the remaining buttercream and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar. Let sit for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, to creamed butter mixture, beating until thoroughly combined before adding the next egg. Stir 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into creamed butter mixture.
