Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until you get a smooth batter. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined and crumbly.

Step 5

Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and use a knife to swirl it into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your cinnamon roll cake!
