Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter (, melted)
  • 1/2 cup butter (, softened)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons butter (, softened)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8'' baking dish.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, egg and vanilla. Stir in melted butter. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
  • Make the cinnamon swirl topping by combing all ingredients together until smooth.
  • Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl through the cake and disperse the mixture throughout the cake batter.
  • Bake 30-37 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Drizzle cream cheese frosting over warm cake. Serve warm.
  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese together. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a smooth, soft frosting. Drizzle frosting over the cake with a spoon, or use a ziplock bag and snip a hole out of one of the corners to pipe the frosting on.
  • This cake is best served warm from the oven, the same day it's made.
