Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

  6. 6

    Layer the Cake

    Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Glaze Preparation

  1. 8

    Make the Glaze

    In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.

  2. 9

    Apply the Glaze

    Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
