Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, large eggs, vanilla extract, and 0.5 cups of melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the cake batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the filling into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake.
Slice the cake into squares and serve warm for the ultimate cinnamon roll flavor experience.
