Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 12 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Topping:
- 12 cup (100 grams) packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Incorporate wet ingredients into the dry mixture, whisking until the batter transforms into a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Transfer the smooth batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Create a fragrant cinnamon-sugar mixture by blending brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate small bowl.
- Generously scatter the cinnamon-sugar blend across the cake batter’s surface, then use a knife to create elegant swirling patterns.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and checking doneness with a toothpick.
- While the cake cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to craft a glossy, drizzle-worthy glaze.
- Once the cake reaches a warm temperature, cascade the sweet glaze over the top, allowing it to settle into the cinnamon swirls.
- Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the warm, aromatic dessert with its delectable cinnamon-sugar layers.
Notes
- Swap out all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version.
- Create dairy-free alternative by using almond milk and coconut oil instead of regular milk and butter.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or cutting total sugar amount by one-third without compromising cake texture.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and nutty flavor profile during cinnamon swirl step.
