Ingredients
For the cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 stick of butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl:
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- 1 stick of butter softened
- 1 ½ tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For the cream cheese glaze:
- 4 oz cream cheese softened and room temperature
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp milk
Instructions
Making the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and place the dry ingredients in a bowl. Using a whisk, mix them.
- Using a hand-held or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Beat just until combined.
- Alternating, add the dry ingredients and milk in a few additions to the egg mixture.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Making the cinnamon swirl:
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add spoonfuls of this mixture into the cake batter and using a fork, swirl them into the cake batter. Bake for 40 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Making the glaze:
- Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar together until smooth.
- Spread over the warm cake and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the butter, eggs, and cream cheese are all softened and room temperature to ensure the proper mixing of the batter, cinnamon swirl, and glaze.
- Every oven is different, so don’t rely on the cooking time. It’s better to always do the toothpick method!
- Spread the glaze over the cake while still warm.
