Light and tender cinnamon cake with cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup butter , melted
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/2 cup butter , softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp butter , softened
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1-2 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8'' baking dish.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, egg and vanilla. Stir in melted butter. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
- Make the cinnamon swirl topping by combing all ingredients together until smooth.
- Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl through the cake and disperse the mixture throughout the cake batter.
- Bake 32-37 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Drizzle cream cheese frosting over warm cake. Serve warm.
- For the Cream Cheese Frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese together. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a smooth, soft frosting. Drizzle frosting over the cake with a spoon (or use a ziplock bag like I did--just snip a hole out of one of the corners and add the frosting).
- This cake is best served the same day.
