Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 third cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients, and stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the batter, ensuring full coverage. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the surface.
Slice and serve warm, or let it cool completely for easy cutting. Enjoy!
