Instructions
Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and vanilla coffee creamer. Mix together using an electric mixer at medium speed.
In another medium mixing bowl, add the flour and baking powder. Whisk together.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed. Add the butter and continue to mix until well combined.
Spread the cake batter in an even layer in the baking dish.
Cinnamon Filling
In a small mixing bowl, add softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a spoon to stir until no lumps remain.
Drop the cinnamon mixture by spoonfuls on top of the cake batter. Use a butter knife and drag it through the cake batter, making a swirl, marble-like pattern all around the cake. Make sure to get all the way to the sides.
Bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Glaze
To make the glaze, add powdered sugar, and vanilla coffee creamer to a small bowl. Use a spoon to stir until no lumps remain.
Pour the glaze over the warm cake. Let it cool completely before serving.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix, or your batter will become tough and rubbery.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cake at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
