Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  3. Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon filling onto the batter, then swirl it throughout using a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Make the Glaze: While the cake bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
  7. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve warm, enjoying the gooey cinnamon filling and sweet glaze with each bite.
