  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom of each with parchment.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. In another medium bowl, whisk the egg white, milk, and vanilla together.

  5. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high until light and fluffy.

  6. Add about a third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on medium-low until incorporated.

  8. Repeat step 6 and 7 with the remaining flour and egg-milk mixtures, finishing with the flour.

  9. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  11. Let the cakes cool completely in the pans on a rack.

  12. To make the buttercream:
