Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake

This cinnamon roll pound cake combines buttery pound cake batter layered with cinnamon sugar swirls throughout the loaf. It features a moist texture from Greek yogurt and eggs, with cinnamon flavor integrated in both the batter and a layered cinnamon sugar topping baked inside. After baking, a simple cinnamon-spiced glaze adds extra sweetness and spice. The loaf format offers an easy way to enjoy cinnamon roll flavors without rolling dough.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with baking spray.
  2. In a stand mixer beat the sugar (not including the 1/4 cup) and butter together for 2-3 minutes or until noticeably lighter in color and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs, yogurt, milk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  4. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Using the last 1/4 cup of sugar, add the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to it.
  6. Add in half of the batter, then half the cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.
  7. Add another half of what you have left (so a quarter of all the batter you started with) and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar over that layer.
  8. Add the rest of the batter.
  9. Bake for 60 minutes or until your tester comes out clean.
  10. Cool cake completely before adding the icing.
  11. Mix the powdered sugar and milk (just enough to have a thick but pourable consistency, like honey.
  12. Reserve 1/4 cup of it and add the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to it.
  13. Pour the regular icing over the cake.
  14. Add the cinnamon frosting to a small ziploc bag.
  15. Cut a tiny bit off the edge and pipe a zig zag line on the top of the cake.
