Glazed Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

A delicious & moist cinnamon coffee cake.

Cake Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter)
1 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch pan with butter. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Set aside. Mix together the milk, eggs and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients.
Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
For the topping, use two knives or a pastry blender to combine the ingredients. (To blend thoroughly, you can use your your hands finish mixing.) Drop dollops of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter. 

Ready for the oven.

Bake for 25- 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
Stir together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. Cool in the pan, for at least 30 minutes, before serving.

Baked cake with glaze.

Notes: 
This moist cinnamon cake is perfect for a brunch, potluck or coffee break time. (The topping is similar to cinnamon roll filling.) 
Serve plain, with whipped cream or with vanilla ice cream.
Because this cake tastes best at room temperature, later on, or the next day, this is perfect to make a day or two before you plan to serve it. (Or, an hour or two before serving.)
