This is my mix of a number of online recipes, bit dry for me, but Zoey loved it…

Ingredients:

Batter:

  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 Cups Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Melted Butter

Topping:

  • 1 Cup Softened Butter
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon

Icing:

  • 8 Tbsp Softened Butter
  • 1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp Salt

Directions:
For Batter:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F | 180°C. Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Set aside
  2. In a mixer add the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs and vanilla. Once combined well, slowly stir in the melted butter. Pour into the prepared 9×13 baking dish.

For Topping:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together until well combined and creamy. Drop evenly over the batter by the tablespoonfuls and use a knife to marble / swirl through the cake. Play around with this, it may make sense to make a few random holes in the batter and fill with topping prior to swirling as the topping is enough to cover the batter otherwise.
  2. Bake at 350°F | 180°C for 35-40 minutes or when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out nearly clean (last batch took almost 50 minutes)

For Glaze:

  1. While the cake is baking, mix the Icing ingredients together with a mixer until fluffy.
  2. When the cake is done, spread generously with icing while the cake is still warm.

Serve Warm or at room temperature

Bon appetite!
