  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons white sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon together and sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of the greased baking pan. Save remaining 1/2 and set aside for sprinkling over cake batter.
  • Cream together sugar, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add eggs; mix to combine.

  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon and sugar mixture. Set aside.
