Yield: 1 9×13-inch cake

Ingredients

Bottom Layer:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, melted

Top Layer:

1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 3
Beat 1 cup softened butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls over the batter in the baking pan. Swirl the top layer into the bottom layer with a knife to create a marble effect.
