Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather mixing bowls and measuring cups.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually sift in flour and baking powder until smooth.
  3. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until it forms a thick paste. Set aside.
  4. Grease the baking dish. Pour half of the batter into the dish and drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture over it. Pour the remaining batter and cinnamon mixture on top, swirling gently.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cake.
  7. Once slightly cooled, slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
