Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup melted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 eggs, and 1 cup milk. Mix together.

Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 3 cups flour, and 1 teaspoon salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined, the batter may be slightly lumpy.

Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons flour. Mix until well combined.

Drop the cinnamon mixture in clumps over the cake batter, or smear it around as desired.

Using a knife, swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cake batter to create a marbled effect.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
