  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder

  3. Put the cream cheese, the milk, the eggs, the vanilla extract, and the sugar in a big bowl and whisk with an electric hand mixer.
  4. Sift in the flour with the baking powder and the baking soda and the cinnamon, mixing to combine all the ingredients.
