Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ tsps vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, then mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the greased dish.
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until thick and spreadable. Swirl into the batter by dropping spoonfuls over the cake batter and using a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Make Glaze: While the cake bakes, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
