Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup milk

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, melted

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.

    Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

      Make the Cinnamon Swirl Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until it forms a paste-like consistency.

        Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, then add the remaining cake batter on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.

          Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

            Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: While the cake cools, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. The glaze should be pourable; you can adjust the thickness by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

              Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm cake. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if desired.

                Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cinnamon Swirl Delight Cake!
