Easy Churro Cake Recipe

Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare your cake pans by greasing them, lining them with parchment paper, and dusting them with flour.
3. In a blender, blend the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and milk.
4. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and baking powder.
5. Pour the batter into a greased and floured round cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes
6. The cake will be close to being done when your whole kitchen starts to smell like cinnamon. At that point, watch like a hawk, and it will be done when you can insert a toothpick in the center of the cake, and it comes out clean.
7. Take your cakes out of the oven, set them on a cooling rack, and wait until they cool down to room temperature

Making the Filling

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
2. Stir constantly. After a few minutes, you will observe the filling starting to bubble.
3. Reduce the heat to low at this point. Be cautious, as it might splatter a bit. Use a larger pot to prevent splattering on yourself.
4. Continue stirring, and you will notice that the filling is ready when you can scoop up some of it. When dropped back into the pan, it falls on top of the rest without immediately mixing in. (For a clearer understanding, refer to the video, as it's easier to see this process in action than to explain it.) (Video will be posted soon!)
5. Store your filling in your fridge until it cools down and until you are ready to assemble your cake.
6. Note: Your filling should be firm enough for piping onto the cake. If you desire a cascading effect, mix the filling with a bit of extra whipping cream until you reach your desired consistency ( You can use a stand mixer or a whisk and a bowl for this). However, please be aware that I do not recommend this if you plan take this cake anywhere, as it may cause the layers to slide. If you're taking the cake anywhere, it's best to stick to the original recipe as written.

To Assemble the Cake:

1. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and set aside.
2. In a little bowl, mix the powdered sugar with ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Spread the filling on top of one of your cakes and place the other one on top
4. Sprinkle the powdered cinnamon sugar mixture on top using a sieve.
