INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prepare it for the cake batter.
Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups of milk, 1 cup of white sugar, 2 eggs, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix until well-combined and smooth. Stir in ¼ cup of melted butter until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Step 3: Make the Cinnamon Swirl Topping
In a separate bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the batter in the baking pan. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out nearly clean.
