Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups milk (12 fluid ounces)
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon Filling Ingredients:
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Thoroughly coat a Bundt pan with non-stick spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Create the cake base by combining dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, then incorporate wet components until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Craft the signature cinnamon swirl mixture by blending butter, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon until forming a cohesive, spreadable texture.
- Transfer half the cake batter into the prepared pan, strategically layering the cinnamon filling across the surface.
- Pour remaining batter over the cinnamon layer, using a knife to create elegant, marbled swirls throughout the mixture.
- Position the Bundt pan in a preheated oven, allowing the cake to bake until a clean toothpick test indicates complete doneness.
- While the cake transforms in the oven, whisk together glaze ingredients, adjusting liquid proportions to reach a silky, pourable consistency.
- After removing from the oven, allow the cake to rest briefly in the pan to stabilize its structure.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a decorative serving plate, revealing its intricate swirled interior.
- Generously drizzle the vanilla glaze, permitting it to cascade into the cake’s natural ridges and valleys.
- Let the cake cool momentarily, then slice and serve, celebrating the harmonious blend of sweet and spicy flavors.
Notes
- Swirling cinnamon filling creates a mesmerizing marbled pattern that makes each slice visually stunning.
- Generously greasing the Bundt pan ensures the cake releases smoothly without sticking or breaking.
- Using room temperature ingredients helps create a perfectly tender and evenly mixed cake batter.
