Make the topping by mixing room temperature unsalted butter, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon powder, vanilla essence, and a pinch of salt. Whisk and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

In a bowl, whisk together an egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla essence with caster sugar.

Fold in the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Line a 7-inch cake tin with parchment paper and grease it.

Transfer the cake batter to the prepared cake tin and level it by tapping a couple of times.

Create swirls in the batter using a spoon or spatula.

Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon topping over the batter and gently mix some of the batter on top.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean and the top looks crusty.

While the cake is baking, prepare the sugar glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk and vanilla essence until smooth.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool, unmold it, and transfer it to a serving plate.

Drizzle a liberal amount of the sugar glaze over the cake.
