2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir until combined and pour into the baking dish.
Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the cake batter, then swirl with a knife.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the Glaze over the warm cake and serve.

For extra gooeyness, increase the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
