Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted ((slightly cooled))
- 3/4 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature ((1 1/2 sticks))
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, preferably the kind with flour.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 1 1/2 cups of milk. Gradually add in 1/2 cup of melted salted butter while mixing. Combine gently and spread the batter in the prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of softened salted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture onto the cake batter, then swirl with a butter knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 5 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Adjust thickness by adding more sugar or milk. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake. Let it cool for easier slicing, but it’s tasty warm or at room temperature.
