Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Whisk
  • Butter Knife

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar

Icing

  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar For icing

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
  • Stir the milk and vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Gradually add this to the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. The batter should be thick but smooth.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter in the pan. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan.
  • While the cake cools, whisk the powdered sugar with 1-2 teaspoons of milk until smooth and pourable. Drizzle the icing over the warm cake before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature. You can substitute vanilla with almond extract for a different flavor.
