Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1½ cups milk

• ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted and slightly cooled

For the Cinnamon Filling:

• ¾ cup salted butter, softened to room temperature

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 5 tablespoons milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

3. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until smooth.

4. Assemble the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon filling over the batter and use a knife or skewer to swirl the filling into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Prepare Glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

7. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.

8. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Roll Cake!
