Description

Cinnamon roll cake made with a homemade white cake mixture and a buttery brown sugar and cinnamon swirl topped with a sweet vanilla glaze.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 To make the white cake layer: Mix 3 cups flour, milk, white sugar, eggs, baking powder, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until well-combined. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
3 To make the cinnamon layer: Beat 1 cup softened butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls over the batter in the baking pan.
4 Swirl the top layer into the bottom layer with a knife to create a marble effect.
5 Bake cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out nearly clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
6 To make the glaze: Mix confectioners' sugar, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth.
7 Drizzle glaze over warm cinnamon roll cake. Enjoy!
