Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 3 cups flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 vanilla beans or 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup butter melted

Filling

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp milk
  • ½ vanilla bean scrape out the seeds or 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • dash salt

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla bean seeds. Whisk or beat till smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
  • Spread batter in a greased 9x13" pan. Combine the filling ingredients and drop by spoonfuls over the cake batter. Swirl with a butter knife.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes. Cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk together glaze ingredients till smooth and drizzle over the hot cake. Serve warm.

Notes

  • The cake may need to bake longer depending on your oven. I like to test the center by pulling it apart gently with a fork. If it's still gooey, I put it back in.
