  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (for icing)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar for 3-4 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the buttermilk into the butter mixture, then add the dry ingredients in three batches, mixing just until combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mix, then layer the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  8. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batter for a marbled effect.
  9. Drizzle melted butter over the top and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely.
  11. Whisk powdered sugar with milk to make the icing, drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Remember to use room temperature ingredients for the best results! For a twist, add chopped apples or chocolate chips to the batter, or try different spices in the icing. Store the iced cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. Freeze the un-iced cake for longer storage (up to 2 months). If you prefer a stronger honey flavor, substitute half of the granulated sugar with honey, adjusting the buttermilk as needed.
