Description
A delicious blend of fluffy cake and gooey cinnamon goodness, perfect for brunch or a cozy family dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl for the cinnamon swirl.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter and drizzle half of the melted butter on top.
- Add the remaining batter, smoothing it out gently.
- Swirl the layers together gently using a knife or skewer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to prepare the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the still-warm cake and serve.
Notes
For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can skip the glaze and dust with powdered sugar instead.
