Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Swirl:

- 1 cup brown sugar

For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. -
Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. -
Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the cake batter, then use a knife to swirl it through the cake. -
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Make the Glaze:
While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. -
Glaze and Serve:
Once the cake is out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm cake. Slice and serve while warm for the best gooey cinnamon roll flavor!
Notes
- You can add more cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg for an extra touch of warmth in the flavor.
- To make the cake even more indulgent, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
