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 (1½ sticks) 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. Prepare the Cake Batter:

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

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

   • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

   • While mixing, slowly add the melted butter and continue to mix until the batter is smooth.

   • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

2. Prepare the Cinnamon Filling:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix until a thick paste forms.

   • Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the cake batter in dollops. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

3. Bake the Cake:

   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   • Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes.

4. Prepare the Glaze:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

   • Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.

5. Serve:

   • Slice the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
