Instructions

- Swirl the mixture through the batter using a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the Glaze: While the cake bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
- Add the Glaze: Once the cake is out of the oven, drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake.
- Serve: Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon swirl for added texture and flavor.
- The glaze can be adjusted for consistency by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner drizzle.
