Name: Cinnamon Roll Cake
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsalted butter; 1 1/2 cups milk; 2 tsp vanilla extract; 2 large eggs; 3 tsp baking powder; 1 cup sugar; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 tsp salt; 1 cup unsalted butter (melted); 1 cup light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 cup powdered sugar; 3-4 tablespoons milk; 1 tsp vanilla extract

To make this delicious cinnamon roll cake, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients for the cake, such as flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Once combined, create a well in the center and whisk your eggs in a separate bowl. Pour the whisked eggs into the well, followed by the rest of the wet ingredients, like milk and vanilla extract. Mix everything until smooth and pour the batter into your prepared pan.

For the cinnamon roll filling, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Dollop this mixture across the surface of the cake batter, then use a butter knife to swirl or marble the filling into the cake. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake has baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, whisk together the ingredients for the glaze—powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the swirled cinnamon goodness. Serve the cake warm, paired with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for the perfect treat.
