Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup brown sugar (for the swirl)
Powdered sugar (for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
For the swirl, mix brown sugar with additional cinnamon in a small bowl.
Spread half of the batter in the prepared dish, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then dollop remaining batter on top and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; check doneness with a toothpick.
Allow to cool before drizzling with powdered sugar mixed with water or milk.
