Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk

For the Cinnamon Swirl Filling:

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Caramel Glaze:

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Make the Cake Batter: Cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
Prepare Cinnamon Filling: Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
Assemble the Cake: Pour half the cake batter into the pan. Add dollops of the cinnamon mixture and swirl gently. Pour remaining batter on top and smooth.
Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare Glaze: While the cake bakes, heat heavy cream and brown sugar over medium heat until thickened (about 5–7 minutes).
Glaze the Cake: Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before pouring the warm glaze over the top.
Serve: Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
