Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (250 g) powdered sugar
  • 4 tsps baking powder
  • 2 tbsps ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 6/10 tbsps milk
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Station: Amalgamate flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a generously sized mixing bowl, whisking to guarantee uniform distribution.
  2. Liquid Integration: Pour milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter into dry ingredients, gently folding until a smooth, cohesive batter emerges without overmixing.
  3. Batter Placement: Spread the silky mixture evenly into a greased rectangular baking pan, ensuring a level surface for optimal baking.
  4. Cinnamon Swirl Creation: Blend brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter into a rich, spreadable mixture with a luxurious texture.
  5. Marbling Technique: Strategically dollop the cinnamon mixture across the batter, then use a knife to create elegant swirling patterns throughout the cake’s surface.
  6. Baking Process: Slide the pan into a preheated oven at 350°F, baking for 30-35 minutes until a cake tester emerges clean and the top achieves a golden-brown hue.
  7. Glaze Preparation: Whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla, adjusting consistency to create a smooth, pourable topping that will cascade beautifully.
  8. Final Flourish: While the cake remains warm, drench the surface with the glossy glaze, ensuring complete and even coverage.
  9. Serving Presentation: Allow the cake to cool briefly, permitting the glaze to set and flavors to harmonize before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ingredient Precision: Measure dry and wet ingredients accurately to maintain the cake’s delicate texture and ensure consistent results every time.
  • Gentle Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing the batter; stir just until ingredients combine to prevent a tough, dense cake texture.
  • Marbling Magic: Use a knife or toothpick to create swirls gently, making sure not to overmix the cinnamon layer for a beautiful, distinct pattern.
  • Glaze Consistency Check: Adjust powdered sugar and milk quantities to achieve a smooth, pourable glaze that drizzles perfectly without being too thick or runny.
