    Combine Butter and Sugar

    combine dry ingredients
  • Spread half of batter mixture into the prepared pan. Batter will be thick and it is a little tricky to spread, add small dollops of batter and gently spread with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with half of the topping. Pour remaining batter leftover on the top and sprinkle with remaining topping.
    top with half of cinnamon sugar
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes in preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
