Cinnamon Roll Cake
Description
The Cinnamon Roll Cake begins with a simple batter combining flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. The batter is poured into a pan, then topped with a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Swirling the topping into the batter creates a marbled effect and distributed cinnamon flavor.
Baked until golden, this cake has a tender crumb that contrasts with the sugary, spiced ribbons throughout. The powdered sugar glaze thinned with milk and flavored with vanilla is drizzled warm, soaking slightly into the surface for added moisture and sweetness.
This cake works well served warm or at room temperature for breakfast, snack, or dessert. Reducing the glaze still yields a tasty result with less sweetness.
