Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a medium square cake tin; If you want, put baking paper on the bottom.
Mix dry mixture
Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a bowl; Don't leave any lumps.
Make butter and sugar into sand
In another bowl, mix the shortening and brown sugar briefly with a fork or mixer. Let the mixture look like sandy crumbs.
Separate the crumb
Reserve about 1 cup of this mixture for the top crumb; set aside.
Complete the dough
Add the egg to the remaining mixture and mix. Continue stirring while slowly adding the milk; Obtain a smooth, dense cake dough.
Transfer it to the mold
Spread the dough into the mold and smooth the surface with a spatula. Do not rush while spreading as the dough will be thick.
Sprinkle the top crumb
Distribute the crumbs you reserved evenly over the dough. If there are large pieces left, you can lightly crumble them with your fingers.
Bake and let it rest
Bake for 40 minutes. Do the toothpick test; It is normal for a few moist crumbs to appear, but there should be no runny dough. Let the cake rest in the mold for 10-15 minutes and then slice it.
