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 salted butter, melted and slightly cooled

For the cinnamon filling:

¾ cup salted butter, softened
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

Prepare the cake batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until just combined. Gradually add the melted butter, stirring until the batter is smooth.
Assemble the cinnamon filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until well combined.
Layer the cake and filling: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon filling over the batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl the filling through the cake batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the glaze: While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Glaze and serve: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake before serving.
