Ingredients:

For the Cake Base:

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups of milk
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• ¼ cup of melted butter

For the Irresistible Top Layer:

• 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

For the Enchanting Glaze:

• 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar
• 5 tablespoons of milk
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, milk, granulated sugar, eggs, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir this delightful concoction until it blends into a harmonious mixture. Now, gently fold in the melted ¼ cup of butter. Pour this batter into your prepared baking pan.
3. In another bowl, whip together 1 cup of softened butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and the aromatic cinnamon. This will form a smooth, delectable topping. Carefully spoon this enticing mixture over the cake batter.
4. To create a mesmerizing marble effect, swirl the top layer into the bottom layer using a knife.
5. Slide your creation into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges almost clean, usually around 25 to 30 minutes.
6. While your cake basks in its oven spa, prepare the finishing touch. In a separate roomy bowl, whisk together 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 5 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until it transforms into a silky glaze.
7. Once your cake has completed its time in the oven, and it’s still warm, drizzle the enchanting glaze generously over the top.
