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:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Icing:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

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.
  • The cake tastes best when served warm.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
