For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 4: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping While the cake is baking, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. In another bowl, melt the butter.
Step 5: Add the Topping Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and brush the melted butter over the top. Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the surface.
Step 6: Cool and Serve Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
