Ingredients

White Cake Layer

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 ½ cups milk

• 1 cup white sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ cup butter, melted

Cinnamon Layer

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Make the cake batter

3. Make the cinnamon layer
   In another bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until well blended. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the cake batter and swirl gently with a knife.

4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Make the glaze
   In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

6. Finish the cake
   Drizzle glaze over the warm cake. Slice and serve.
