Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative) Use almond or oat milk for dairy-free.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Substitute with a dairy-free buttery spread if desired.
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature for best results.
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Optional Topping

  • 1 cup powdered sugar For dusting on top before serving.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
  • In another bowl, whisk the milk, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Assembling and Baking

  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Swirl gently with a knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

  • Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Measure flour accurately to avoid a dense cake. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Experiment with toppings like icing made from powdered sugar and milk.
