Cinnamon Streusel Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will ensure that the cakes bake evenly.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking pans by greasing them thoroughly and then dusting with flour. This will prevent the cakes from sticking to the pans during baking.
3
Now, combine three basic ingredients - brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon - in a bowl. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until the sugar clumps are broken down and well incorporated.
4
Add the melted butter to the mixture, blending it until everything is thoroughly combined and smooth.
5
To add some texture, stir in the pecans by hand. Set the filling aside for now.
6
In a separate bowl, combine three dry ingredients - sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
7
In another bowl, combine three wet ingredients - sugar, shortening, and egg. Mix these ingredients together with an electric mixer until they are thoroughly combined.
8
Gradually add milk to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
9
Then, stir in the dry ingredients until they are well combined.
10
Now, divide the batter evenly between two prepared cake pans. Spread 1/4 of the batter into each pan, followed by 1/4 of the streusel filling. Repeat this process one more time, spreading the layers evenly.

Finally, bake the cakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, taking around 25 to 30 minutes.
