Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1.5 cups milk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Cinnamon Swirl
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Vanilla Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs, mixing until smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until a paste forms.
  4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and use a knife to swirl it through the cake.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Whisk the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla together until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cake before serving.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing the batter to prevent the butter from solidifying.
