- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a baking pan measuring 9×13 inches with oil or cooking spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- Create Batter: Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Incorporate Butter: Gently incorporate the melted butter into the mixture before pouring it into the prepared pan.
- Prepare Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired) to create the filling.
- Layer the Filling: Evenly distribute spoonfuls of the filling mixture over the cake batter.
- Swirl for Marbling: Use a knife to swirl and create marbling patterns throughout the batter for that classic Cinnabon look.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until you achieve a smooth and delicious glaze.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once you remove the cake from the oven, drizzle the glaze over it while it’s still warm. Allow some time for the cake to cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it either warm or at room temperature.
