In another bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, the cinnamon and the melted butter to form a paste for the Cinnamon Swirl.

Construction
5

Put the cake batter into your prepared pan and dollop the Cinnamon swirl on top. Next, run a skewer or knife through the batter and the cinnamon mix to create a nice swirl or marble pattern.

6

Bake in the oven for around 40-45 minutes.

Finishing Touches
7

Five minutes before the cake is finished, mix the icing sugar and milk together until smooth.

8

Remove the cake from the oven and pour the glaze over the top whilst it is still warm. If the cake has cooled by the time you pour the glaze, the glaze will be much more difficult to spread nicely.

9

Let it cool a little bit, serve with your favourite Ice-cream and Enjoy!
