Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until it forms a crumbly mixture.

          Layer the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture over that.

            Create a Swirl: Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl.

              Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.

                  Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If it's too thick, add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency.

                    Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.

                      Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Swirl Bliss Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
