This easy-to-make cinnamon roll cake is a delicious and decadent treat that’s perfect for any occasion. It has all the flavors of a classic cinnamon roll baked into a moist and fluffy cake.
Ingredients:
- For the Cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- For the Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4-5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, softened butter, flour, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon filling over the batter. Use a knife to swirl the filling through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the Glaze: While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before glazing. Pour the glaze over the warm cake and let it set before slicing and serving.
