Ingredients
  

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
