Description
A delicious, moist cinnamon roll cake that tastes just like Cinnabon rolls, complete with a rich cinnamon swirl and sweet glaze on top.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix flour, salt, white sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Stir in melted butter. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the batter. Swirl it through the batter using a knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, beat 2/3 cup softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, 5 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over warm cake before serving.
Notes
- Best served warm for that gooey cinnamon roll flavor.
- Can be reheated in the microwave for 15–20 seconds per slice.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy twist.
