Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 12 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Cinnamon Swirl Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the culinary workspace to 350°F and generously coat a rectangular baking vessel with protective grease.
- Construct the foundational cake mixture by blending dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a uniform powder foundation. Incorporate liquid components – milk, eggs, vanilla essence, and melted butter – whisking until the texture transforms into a silky, consistent cream.
- Craft the aromatic cinnamon ripple by integrating softened butter, caramel-toned sugar, flour, and fragrant ground cinnamon until the mixture resembles a crumbly, rich paste.
- Transfer the cake batter into the prepared pan, strategically dispersing dollops of the cinnamon mixture across the surface. Utilize a sharp blade to create elegant, meandering swirls throughout the batter, generating a marbled visual landscape.
- Position the pan within the preheated oven, allowing the confection to metamorphose for 30–35 minutes. Validate doneness by inserting a slender probe into the cake’s core – it should emerge pristine and unblemished.
- While the cake radiates residual warmth, concoct a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla, creating a silky, cascading topping.
- Gently drape the glossy glaze across the cake’s undulating surface, allowing it to settle into delicate rivers of sweetness. Slice and serve this decadent creation.
Notes
- Swap regular milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that’s equally delicious and creamy.
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smoother mixing and better integration of cinnamon swirl ingredients.
- Use a light hand when swirling to create beautiful marble-like patterns without overmixing the batter.
- Refrigerate leftover cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days, bringing it to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
