Ingredients
 

Cake Batter

  • 2.1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.9 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.48 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3.5 oz eggs, lightly beaten
  • 0.8 cup sour cream
  • 0.45 cup whole milk
  • 1.75 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Filling

  • 0.9 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2.25 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 1.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2.5 tbsp milk add more as needed for drizzle consistency

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan and line with a parchment sling.
  • Stir brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and a pinch of salt in a bowl to form a thick paste.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Cream softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  • Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined; do not overmix.
  • Spread half the batter in the pan. Dollop half the cinnamon paste over the batter and swirl with a knife.
  • Add remaining batter. Spoon on the rest of the cinnamon paste and gently marble again.
  • Bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and milk until smooth and pourable.
  • Cool cake 15 minutes. Drizzle with glaze, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Try adding 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the cinnamon filling for crunch, or swap sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. Leftovers keep covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; warm slices briefly before serving.
