Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% works)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk for glaze
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch pan and line with parchment if desired.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until smooth, then add oil and milk, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon filling.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon filling on top.
- Spoon the remaining batter over the filling and use a knife to swirl the batter and cinnamon layer together gently.
- Bake for 28-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla. Add more milk if needed for a pourable consistency.
- Pour the glaze over the warm cake, then let it cool before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a deeper cinnamon flavor, consider adding nutmeg or ground cloves. Adjust sugar levels according to taste.
