1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Create the Cinnamon Swirl: Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the batter, then use a knife to gently swirl it throughout the cake. Avoid overmixing to maintain the distinct swirls.
- Bake the Cake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly before glazing.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm cake.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy warm with coffee or your favorite beverage.
