Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients, and stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the batter, ensuring full coverage. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the cake cools slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the surface.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm, or let it cool completely for easy cutting. Enjoy!
