Ingredients
Scale
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Swirl:

Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, and mix until smooth. Pour into the prepared dish.
Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the batter and swirl using a knife or skewer.
Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare Icing: While the cake is baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Finish: Once the cake is slightly cooled, drizzle the icing over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use whole milk for a richer batter.
