Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
1 cup unsalted butter,
1 cup granulated sugar,
3 large eggs,
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until combined. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring until the batter is smooth.
3 cups all-purpose flour,
1 ½ tablespoons baking powder,
¼ teaspoon salt,
1 cup milk
Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl
In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
½ cup unsalted butter,
1 cup light brown sugar,
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour,
1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
Assemble the Cake
Pour the cake batter into the greased pan, spreading it evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the cake, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the Cake
Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Glaze the Cake
While the cake is still warm, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and serve.
2 cups powdered sugar,
5 to 6 tablespoons milk,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
