Description
A warm and gooey cinnamon roll cake that captures the sweet, spicy swirl of a traditional cinnamon roll in a simple sheet cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the melted butter, 1 cup milk, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
- Mix the ground cinnamon with the packed brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over that layer.
- Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Swirl gently with a knife, then bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden.
- Make the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake and let it cool slightly before serving.
