#### **Step 3: Create the Cinnamon Swirl**
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using). Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
Spoon the remaining cake batter over the top of the cinnamon mixture and gently swirl it together using a butter knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
#### **Step 4: Bake the Cake**
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the cake should feel firm to the touch.
#### **Step 5: Prepare the Honey Glaze**
While the cake is baking, prepare the honey glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The glaze should be pourable but not too runny.
#### **Step 6: Glaze the Cake**
Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the honey glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the crevices of the cake and swirl. Let the cake cool for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
