  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.

Cinnamon Swirl

  • To make the topping, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon using an electric mixer.
  • Spoon the cinnamon topping over the cake batter and swirl it gently using a knife.

Baking

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Frosting

  • For the frosting, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Add more milk if needed for a smoother texture.
  • Pour the frosting over the warm cake, then slice and serve.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slightly in microwave before serving.
