Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk (for icing)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

          Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined; do not overmix.

            Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using).

              Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.

                    Prepare Icing: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

                      Drizzle Icing: Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake. Allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing.

                        Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll Cake!
