Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons 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) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In the baking dish, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Use a fork or whisk to combine everything until a smooth batter forms, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring them together to create a fragrant swirl mixture.

Step 5

Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter in the dish. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 6

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the bake cools slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.

Step 8

Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cinnamon swirl bake. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
