Ingredients:
Bottom Layer:
- 360 grams (3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 360 ml (1 ½ cups) milk
- 200 grams (1 cup) white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 60 grams (¼ cup) melted butter
Top Layer:
- 225 grams (1 cup) softened butter
- 220 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
- 30 grams (2 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
- 15 grams (1 tablespoon) ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 240 grams (2 cups) confectioners’ sugar
- 75 ml (5 tablespoons) milk
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine 360 grams (3 cups) of flour, milk, white sugar, eggs, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter. Mix until all the ingredients are well-combined.
In another large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and cinnamon until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the batter in the baking pan. Use a knife to swirl the top layer into the bottom layer, creating a beautiful marble effect.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out nearly clean.
While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze. In a large bowl, mix together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the layers and add an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes:
- For a delightful variation, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or raisins to the top layer before swirling it into the batter.
- This cake is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon in the top layer according to your personal preference.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Simply reheat before serving to experience the full flavor and texture.
