Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Make the cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Gradually add melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in softened butter until the mixture is crumbly. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl it into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake the cake: Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the glaze: While the cake is baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
