Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe

Introduction:

Cinnamon Roll Cake is a delightful twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, capturing all the gooey, sweet, and spiced flavors of a classic cinnamon roll in a cake form.

This easy-to-make cake is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, offering a moist, fluffy texture with a rich cinnamon sugar swirl and a drizzled glaze.

The cake is baked in a single pan, making it much easier to serve than individual rolls, while still delivering the same indulgent taste.

It’s perfect for a cozy weekend morning or a special occasion with family and friends.

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

5 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Prepare the Cake Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Slowly pour in the melted butter, stirring until the batter is well combined.

Make the Cinnamon Swirl:

In a separate bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and creamy.

Assemble the Cake:

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Using a spoon, drop dollops of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top of the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter, creating a marbled effect.

Bake the Cake:

Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

Make the Glaze:

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Glaze the Cake:

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cake, letting it seep into the nooks and crannies.

Serve:

Slice the cake into squares and serve warm. Enjoy the gooey cinnamon flavor with every bite, just like a traditional cinnamon roll.

Conclusion:

This Cinnamon Roll Cake offers all the deliciousness of a cinnamon roll without the need for rolling out dough or waiting for it to rise.

The moist cake, rich cinnamon swirl, and sweet glaze combine to create a dessert that’s irresistible. It’s

the perfect indulgence for breakfast, dessert, or even as an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.

Whether served warm or at room temperature, this cake is sure to become a household favorite!
