- 3 cups Flour
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 cup Sugar
- 4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1½ cups Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- ½ cup Butter, melted

Directions
- Start with the cake base:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a deep 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, add the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs, and vanilla (a flex edge beater works great for this!).
- Once combined well, slowly stir in the melted butter.
- Pour into the prepared 9×13 casserole dish and set aside.
- Make the cake topping:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together until well combined and fluffy.
- Drop evenly over the batter by the tablespoonfuls (a melon baller or a small ice cream scoop works great for this).
- Use a knife to marble/swirl through the cake.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out nearly clean.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together until well combined and fluffy.
- While that is baking, make the glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
- While cake is still warm (but not hot), drizzle glaze evenly over the top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
