Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon 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, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to create a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the cake batter, and use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.
Cut the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
