🍂 Cinnamon Roll Cake 🍰
Ingredients
For the Cake:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (240ml) milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth.
2. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Assemble the Cake:
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
4. Bake the Cake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Prepare the Glaze:
While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
6. Finish and Serve:
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
