Instructions
For the Cake:
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by applying a nonstick cooking spray with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, or using a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, baking powder, large eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.
While mixing, gradually incorporate the melted salted butter. Mix until the ingredients are well-combined, ensuring not to overmix to maintain the texture of the final product.
Transfer and evenly distribute the batter into the previously prepared baking dish.
For the Cinnamon Filling:
In a separate bowl, amalgamate the room temperature salted butter, packed light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Distribute spoonfuls of the cinnamon filling onto the surface of the cake batter.
Utilize a butter knife to create a marbled effect by swirling it through the cake batter and cinnamon filling.
Baking Process:
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a knife or skewer inserted into the cake's center emerges clean.
For the Glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to achieve a smooth consistency. Adjust the texture by modifying the amounts of powdered sugar or milk if required.
Pour the glaze uniformly over the warm cake.
Notes
It is recommended to allow the cake to cool before serving for optimal slicing.
