Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the cake batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
3. Make the cinnamon swirl:
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth and well combined.
4. Assemble the cake:
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the cake batter. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
5. Bake the cake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Make the glaze:
- While the cake is baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency.
7. Glaze the cake:
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the top.
8. Serve and enjoy:
- Slice the cake into squares and serve warm. It’s perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of day!
