Ingredients
12 servings
- •nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
- •½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- •½ cup brown sugar
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- •3 teaspoons McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
- •½ cup chopped pecans
- •3 cups all-purpose flour
- •1 cup granulated sugar
- •4 teaspoons baking powder
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1 ½ cups whole milk

- •4 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Make the cinnamon topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, salt, flour, McCormick® Ground Cinnamon, and pecans. Microwave for 30 seconds.
- Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla until well-combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until mostly incorporated but a few dry streaks remain. Whisk in the melted butter.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon half of the cinnamon topping on top, gently swirling into the batter. Pour the rest of the batter on top, spreading to cover the filling, then spoon the remaining filling on top, swirling into the batter.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs attached). Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Make the frosting: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and salt until smooth. If frosting is too thick to be pourable, add a bit more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Drizzle the frosting over the cake, then slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
