HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLL CAKE

Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick) melted

FOR THE CINNAMON FILLING:

• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter softened to room temp
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

FOR THE GLAZE:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 5 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
FOR THE CAKE:

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it).
3. In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer), combine ingredients for cake (except melted butter).
4. Don't overmix, just stir until combined.
5. While your mixer is running, slowly add the 1/2 cup melted butter.
6. Mix just until combined (overmixing flour in baked goods can make it tough and rubbery.)
7. Spread this batter evenly into your baking dish.

FOR THE FILLING:

1. In a small bowl, combine all your filling ingredients: softened butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.
2. Stir until combined well.
3. Drop the cinnamon filling by spoonfuls onto the cake batter.
4. Take a butter knife and make swirly, marble-effect patterns all around the cake.
5. Drag the knife through both the cinnamon and cake batter.
6. Bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes (it took about 40 minutes in my oven), until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

FOR THE GLAZE:

1. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in small bowl.
2. Pour the glaze over the warm cake.
