Step 3: Spread the Batter

Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top so the cake bakes evenly.

Step 4: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

In a small bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until you get a thick, spreadable paste with a deep caramel color and strong cinnamon aroma.

Step 5: Create the Cinnamon Swirl

Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the cake batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating marbled patterns. Don’t over-mix—you want distinct swirls for maximum flavor.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. The top should be lightly golden and smell irresistibly like cinnamon sugar.

Step 7: Make the Glaze

While the cake bakes, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth. The glaze should be pourable but not runny.

Step 8: Glaze the Warm Cake

Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for about 5–10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cake so it melts into the cinnamon swirls and settles into the cracks.
