Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Light brown sugar (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 2 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 3 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
Drop the cinnamon filling mixture by spoonfuls evenly over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the filling into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the slightly warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
Slice and serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
