Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite treats, but they take a little more time than I am willing to invest on a regular basis.  I first tried a version of this when I was staying with a friend in Arizona and I thought it was wonderful!  I have made it a few times since then for different events, slightly adapting it each time.  I love that it has normal ingredients that I always have on hand.  The first time I made it, I thought it was way too sweet and had a little too much butter (and I love butter).  I have cut down the sugar and butter a bit and think it is just about perfect.  The cinnamon shines through and it is still plenty sweet.  Every time I make this, it is always well received.



Cake:
3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping:
14 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
2 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9×13 pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes.

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

While warm drizzle the glaze over the cake.

  1. Yum, I will have to try this. I tried making cinnamon rolls the other day and it didn't go as well.
