Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Layer the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon filling evenly over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.
Swirl: Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon filling into the batter.
Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make the Glaze: While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
