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
2-3 tablespoons maple syrup

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.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Layer the Batter: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it, then add the remaining batter on top. Swirl the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture into the top layer.
Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more syrup if necessary.
Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the maple glaze over the top before serving.
