Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Pour in the milk, crack in the eggs, add the vanilla extract, and drizzle in the melted butter. Stir until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top.
  5. In a separate bowl, blend the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon until creamy and spreadable.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the cake batter and swirl through it with a knife.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden-brown.
  8. Mix the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cake, cut into squares, and serve.
