Ingredients
  

Cake Components:

  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of white granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup of salted butter equivalent to 1 stick, melted and cooled slightly

Cinnamon Filling Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup of salted butter at room temperature (equivalent to 1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 cup of firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon of finely ground cinnamon

Glaze Components:

  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

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.
