Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175°C).
- Cake: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until mostly incorporated but a few dry streaks remain. Whisk in melted butter.
- Cinnamon topping: Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of cinnamon topping on the batter, using half of the topping. Use the tip of a butter knife to swirl the topping through the cake. Pour the rest of the batter on top. Spoon the rest of the topping on and swirl again.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with only a few crumbs attached). Remove from oven and let cool.
- Frosting: Whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. If frosting is too thick, add more milk until it becomes a pourable texture. Drizzle cake with frosting. Slice and serve!
- Enjoy!
