- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.

Notes
- Get artistic with your swirls: When layering the cake batter, be generous with your swirling motions. This marbles the cinnamon sugar layer throughout the cake, giving it a gorgeous appearance when sliced. Plus, it ensures that delicious cinnamon flavor is evenly distributed.
- Adjust the glaze consistency: If your vanilla glaze is too thick, don't worry - you can easily thin it out. Just add a little extra milk, teaspoon by teaspoon, until it reaches the perfect spreadable consistency. You want it to be smooth and creamy, but not so runny that it drips off the cake.
- Glaze it while it's warm: Once your cake is out of the oven, don't wait too long to add the glaze. The warmth of the cake helps the glaze spread smoothly and seep into the cake a bit, enhancing its sweetness. Just be gentle when spreading it on top, so you don't mess up that beautiful surface.
