1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square or round cake pan.

Swap cinnamon for cardamom for a different flavor.

Fold in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.

Use mixed berries for a colorful twist.

Drizzle a simple vanilla glaze for extra sweetness.
