Ingredients<\/u>:<\/b>
\nFor the Cake:<\/b>
\n3 cups all-purpose flour
\n1 cup white granulated sugar
\n4 teaspoon baking powder
\n2 large eggs
\n2 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1 \u00bd cups milk
\n\u00bd cup salted butter (1 stick) melted<\/p>\n
Cinnamon Filling:<\/b>
\n\u00be cup (1 \u00bd sticks) salted butter softened to room temp
\n1 cup packed light brown sugar
\n2 tablespoon flour
\n1 tablespoon ground cinnamon<\/p>\n
Glaze:<\/b>
\n2 cups powdered sugar
\n5 tablespoon milk
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n
Directions<\/u>:<\/b>
\nCake:<\/b>
\nPreheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it.) In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer), combine ingredients for cake (except melted butter).
\nWhile your mixer is running, slowly add the \u00bd cup melted butter. Mix just until combined (overmixing flour in baked goods can make it tough and rubbery.)
\nSpread this batter evenly into your baking dish.<\/p>\n
Filling:<\/b>
\nIn a small bowl, combine all your filling ingredients: softened butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir until combined well.
\nDrop the cinnamon filling by spoonfuls onto the cake batter.
\nTake a butter knife and make swirly, marble-effect patterns all around the cake. Drag the knife through both the cinnamon and cake batter.
\nBake the cake for about 35-40 minutes (it took about 40 minutes in my oven), until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n
Glaze:<\/b>
\nWhisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in small bowl.
\nPour the glaze over the warm cake.<\/p>\n
