Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Drizzle half of the melted butter over the batter, then sprinkle half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the cinnamon layer.
Drizzle the rest of the melted butter over the top and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk a teaspoon at a time if needed to reach desired drizzling consistency.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Notes
Ensure your butter is softened for the best creaming results.
Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour.
Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing for a neat finish.
