Ingredients

For the Cakes:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons divided
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
For the Icing:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch cake pans, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In mixer, blend 3 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, milk, eggs, vanilla and 1/4 cup melted butter. Divide batter evenly between cake pans.
  3. In another mixing bowl, beat 3/4 cup butter with brown sugar, 2 Tbsp flour, and cinnamon. Continue to beat until fully blended and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Using two tablespoons, drop butter mixture onto cake batter. Use a knife to swirl.
  4. Bake cakes for about 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pans 10 minutes. Flip cakes out onto serving plates.
  5. For icing, whisk the powdered sugar with 1/4 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Drizzle over warmed cakes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store cooled cakes in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Cinnamon Roll cake tastes best when slightly warmed. If you have leftovers, pop a slice in the microwave for 15 seconds to reheat.
