Stir the cinnamon filling ingredients together, then set aside. Whisk cake layer ingredients in a large bowl until just evenly mixed. Pour about half the cake batter into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the filling on top, then spread the remaining cake batter over everything. Bake for 18 minutes, and stir the streusel ingredients together while waiting.
