Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and nutmeg if desired for 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Fold in 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar into the dough.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  8. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar generously over the top.
  9. Bake for 25-28 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.
