Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Mix to distribute evenly.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
  4. Gently fold in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth, then pour it into the prepared pan.
Cinnamon Swirl
  1. In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional nuts to create the filling.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of this filling over the batter and use a knife to swirl it into the cake.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  2. While the cake is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze.
  3. Once out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, letting it soak in.
  4. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and enjoying.
