Ingredients
Cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Swirl:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
5–6 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter; stir until smooth. Spread batter into prepared pan.
In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Drop spoonfuls over cake batter, then swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth, then pour over warm cake so it seeps into the swirls.
Cool slightly before slicing for the ultimate cinnamon roll experience.
