2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, melted
Cinnamon Filling:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze:
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
5 tablespoons milk

Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, mix together 3 cups flour, 1 ½ cups milk, 1 cup white sugar, 2 eggs, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well-combined. Stir in ¼ cup melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Create Marble Effect:
Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cake batter to create a marble effect.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out nearly clean.
Prepare the Glaze:
While the cake is baking, mix together 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 5 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth.
Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake is done and still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top.
