Cinnamon Roll Cake

Delicious cake that is easy to make with simple ingredients. It tastes just like the perfectly gooey inside of a Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll. Always a huge hit!

Ingredients

3 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup sugar

4 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 cups milk

2 eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

Topping

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoon flour

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

5 Tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with non stick spray.
  2. Cake: In a mixer, add the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs and vanilla. Mix on low speed until combined, then slowly add in the melted butter and mix again for about 1 minute. Pour into the glass baking dish, set aside for a moment.
  3. Topping: In a large bowl or mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together until well combined and creamy. Take the topping mixture and drop spoonfuls on top of the cake batter in the baking dish. Then use a knife to swirl the topping throughout the cake batter.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes or when a toothpick comes out clean. Mine took about 38 minutes.
  5. Glaze: In a medium size bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla together. Once the cake is done, let it cool for a couple minutes and then drizzle the glaze all over the top of the cake.
  6. Ideally serve warm, but it is still amazing at room temperature as I found out when I snuck several forkfuls from the pan later in the afternoon.
