Ingredients:
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk
½ cup melted butter
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
½ tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp milk (add more for desired consistency)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a rectangular baking pan.
Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make the glaze: While the cake bakes, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Glaze the cake: Once the cake is baked, poke small holes all over it using a fork or skewer. Pour the warm glaze evenly over the hot cake so it seeps in.
Cool and serve: Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the glaze to set.
This moist vanilla cake with creamy cinnamon glaze is sweet, tender, and irresistibly aromatic — a perfect dessert for every occasion.
