- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Add Sugars and Spices: Mix in the ground cinnamon, dark brown sugar, granulated white sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
