Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake batter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  • Use a butter knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Once the cake is done, let it cool for 5 minutes before drizzling with the glaze.

Notes

  • a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the glaze or top the cake with whipped cream.
