This is my variation of a recipe I found in a magazine a couple years ago. It's a great breakfast treat, best served warm. Every time I've made it it's been a huge hit.
1/2 cup butter, softened
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tsp. cinnamon
Optional: 2 green apples, chopped into small cubes
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a round springform pan and set aside.
In a large bowl beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar and vanilla and beat until mixed. Add eggs one a time, beating after each addition.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture slowly, until well mixed. The batter should be smooth. If using apples, add to the batter. Pour batter into springform pan.
Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over top of cake.
Bake for 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
