Ingredients
Scale
For the cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the cinnamon swirl topping:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla, and mix until just combined. Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Make the cinnamon swirl topping: In a separate bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until well combined and smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter, then use a butter knife to swirl it into the cake.
- Bake: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the glaze: While the cake is still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle the glaze generously over the cake. Let it set slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This cake is best served warm and pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee.
- For extra decadence, add chopped pecans to the cinnamon swirl or a pinch of nutmeg to the glaze.
