Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer and spread it out gently with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the second batter layer.

Step 10

Using a knife, swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter by making sweeping figure-eight motions across the dish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 13

Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 14

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
