Ingredients

Cake Batter:

  • 10 Tbs. Butter softened
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Cup Milk
  • ½ Cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Cups Flour

Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ¼ Cup Butter Softened, but not melted (see note)
  • ¾ Cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Icing:

  • ½ Tbs. Butter softened
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2-3 Tbs. Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until well blended and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and egg. Add the salt and baking powder.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the milk and sour cream until smooth.
  • Beginning and ending with the flour, add the milk/sour cream mixture in two additions, mixing well after each addition.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • In the same mixing bowl you just used,  beat the softened butter, cinnamon, and sugar together into a crumbly mixture.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture across the batter.
  • Move a butter knife through the batter in a figure-eight motion to swirl the cinnamon mixture the best you can. 
    Does not need to be perfect!
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.  The top will be lightly browned, and a toothpick should come out clean.
  • Cool for ten minutes, then drizzle with icing.
  • To make the icing, beat the butter and powdered sugar together and add enough milk to make a glaze consistency.
