Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer and spread it out gently with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the second batter layer.
Using a knife, swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter by making sweeping figure-eight motions across the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of the cake.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
