Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 grams) powdered sugar
- 5 6/10 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the foundational layer by combining dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring an even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Introduce liquid components including milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, gently folding until ingredients are harmoniously blended without aggressive stirring.
- Transfer the velvety mixture into a prepared rectangular baking vessel, meticulously spreading to create an uniform surface.
- Construct the signature cinnamon essence by thoroughly integrating brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter into a luscious, cohesive mixture.
- Artfully disperse dollops of the cinnamon concoction across the batter’s landscape, then choreograph a delicate knife dance to generate a marbled aesthetic.
- Position the cake within a preheated oven calibrated to 350°F, allowing it to transform for approximately 30-35 minutes until a probing utensil emerges pristine.
- Craft a silky glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla, adjusting liquid proportions to achieve ideal drizzling consistency.
- While the cake remains warmly inviting, cascade the glossy glaze across its surface, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Allow the confection to rest momentarily, enabling the glaze to set and flavors to meld before presenting and serving.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect swirl by using room temperature butter for the cinnamon mixture, ensuring smooth and even distribution throughout the cake.
- Prevent overmixing the batter by gently folding ingredients until just combined, which helps maintain a tender and light cake texture.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend, keeping the same measurements and mixing techniques.
- Customize the cake’s sweetness by adjusting the glaze consistency – add more powdered sugar for a thicker topping or more milk for a lighter drizzle.
