Step-by-Step Instructions for Churro Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray and parchment paper.
  2. Cream the room temperature butter with granulated and brown sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, then add oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the batter along with buttermilk.
  4. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  5. Pour half the batter into the pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar, and ⅓ of the cinnamon chips, then layer with remaining batter and toppings.
  6. Bake for 24-28 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
