Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the cinnamon filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the cream cheese icing:
- 4 oz (about 1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.

- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon the cinnamon filling evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter.
- Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the cinnamon filling into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese icing by beating together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
