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

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl Filling:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

      Make the Cinnamon Swirl Filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Add the softened butter and mix until you have a crumbly filling.

        Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the greased baking pan and smooth it out evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl filling over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter on top, spreading it out gently. Finally, sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl filling over the top. Use a knife to swirl through the batter for that beautiful cinnamon roll effect.

          Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

            Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until the glaze is smooth and easy to drizzle.

              Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Feel free to get creative with the amount and design!

                Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Perfect with a cup of coffee or as a delightful dessert!
