Ingredients:

Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (200g)
  • ½ cup butter, room temperature (115g)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (14g)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cake:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar (150g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ cups buttermilk (360mL)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
  • ½ cup butter, melted (115g)

Glaze:

  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar (240g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 5 tablespoons milk or cream (75mL), divided

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 13×9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, room temperature butter, flour, and cinnamon using a hand mixer until crumbly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, granulated sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla, and mix until just combined. Pour in melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be quite thick.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Crumble the chilled cinnamon filling evenly over the batter. Use a knife to swirl the filling throughout the batter.
  5. Bake the Cake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and 5 tablespoons of milk or cream until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more confectioners’ sugar if the glaze is too thin, or more cream if it’s too thick.
  7. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake. Slice and serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
