Ingredients
  

  • For the cake:
  • 375 g 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 200 g 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 355 ml 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 113 g 1/2 cup, 1 stick salted butter, melted
  • For the cinnamon filling:
  • 170 g 3/4 cup, 1 1/2 sticks salted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 200 g 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • For the glaze:
  • 250 g 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 75 ml 5 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Gradually add the melted butter while mixing, and continue until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the filling. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture onto the cake batter.
  • Using a butter knife, create swirly, marble-effect patterns throughout the cake, incorporating both the cinnamon filling and cake batter.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze. Adjust consistency as desired. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Feel free to add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon filling for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
This cake can be served warm or at room temperature, but it slices more easily once cooled.
