Postup
Krok za krokem
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23x33cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.
Přibližně 5 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Using baking spray with flour can make this step quicker.

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Přibližně 3 min

In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the vegetable oil until combined.
Přibližně 2 min

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: A few small lumps of flour are okay; overmixing can make the cake tough.

Přibližně 40 min

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Přibližně 15 min
Poznámka kuchaře: This initial cooling period helps the cake set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.

While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
Přibližně 3 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure the butter and cream cheese are truly at room temperature for a lump-free frosting.

Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until incorporated, then increase to medium-high until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Přibližně 4 min

Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
Přibližně 3 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and run.
