Ingredients 🛒
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup melted butter
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions 🍽️
1. Prepare the Batter 🥣
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, stirring until smooth.
2. Make the Cinnamon Swirl 🍯
In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour until well combined. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the batter, then swirl it in with a knife for a marbled effect.
3. Bake the Cake 🍰
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Glaze and Serve 🍯
While the cake is warm, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze. Drizzle over the cake and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
