Ingredients

– ½ cup melted butter
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup sugar
– 3 cups flour
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 4 tsp baking powder
– ¼ tsp salt
– 1½ cups milk
– 1 cup melted butter (for topping)
– 1 cup brown sugar (for topping)
– 2 Tbsp flour (for topping)
– 1 Tbsp cinnamon (for topping)
– 2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
– 5 Tbsp milk (for glaze)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Preparing the Oven and Pan Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mixing the Cake Ingredients In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Pouring the Batter Transfer the mixed batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
4. Preparing the Topping In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Mix these until well combined.
5. Adding the Topping Evenly spread the topping over the cake batter. Take a knife and gently swirl the topping through the batter to create a marble effect.
6. Baking the Cake Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Making the Glaze While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until it reaches a consistency similar to pancake syrup.
8. Finishing Touches Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and while still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow it to set into a firmer glaze.
