Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon ripple.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer and gently spread it to cover. Then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.

Step 9

Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture into the batter to create a ripple effect.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

While the cake cools, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 13

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffee cake. Slice into squares and serve.
