Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon until combined, being careful not to overmix. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin.

Combine cinnamon, sugar, and butter. Mix together until lumpy and wet. Sprinkle the mixture over the cake batter.

Bake the cake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean to ensure the cake is properly cooked.
