Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for the swirl)
- For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with the milk.
- Pour about two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon swirl.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and drop remaining batter in dollops on top.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is set. Rotate the pan halfway through.
- While the cake cools, whisk glaze ingredients until smooth.
- Spoon the glaze over the warm cake before serving.
Notes
Let the cake set for 10 minutes before glazing. For a softer texture, bake at the lower end of the time range.
