12.12.2011 Cinnamon Roll Cake

Look at that gooey cinnamon swirl....

The first recipe post came as a bit of a struggle for me. You can ask anyone, I am one of the most indecisive people you will ever meet. My heart was set on baking homemade oreos, but I know I would fight eating every single cookie entirely by myself. In order to save myself from a massive stomach ache later down the road, I decided on something that my parents are more likely to devour before I have the chance to eat more than my usual sample slice. This recipe is INCREDIBLEEEE. Warm and gooey fresh out of the oven, this recipe beats a cinnamon roll any day. 

Hot outta the oven!

Soooo damn good with a cold glass of milk 

Cinnamon Roll Cake
from Cookin' Up North


Cake:
3 c. flour
1/4 tsp.salt
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. butter, melted

Topping:
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9x13 pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes. (Unless you are like me and slightly forget to close your oven door all of the way for the first 5-8 minutes....then it might take longer)

Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
5 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla


While warm drizzle the glaze over the cake.
Oh, and don't forget a glass of cold milk :)
