Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
- Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Gradually pour in the melted butter and stir until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the cake batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake:
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown, and the cinnamon swirls should be set.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- While the cake is baking, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze the Cake:
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. While the cake is still warm, pour the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to seep into the cake.
- Serve:
- Slice the cake into squares and serve warm. Enjoy the deliciously gooey cinnamon swirls and sweet glaze in every bite!
Tips for the Best Cinnamon Roll Cake
- Swirling Perfection: Use a butter knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture gently into the cake batter. Don’t overmix; you want visible swirls throughout the cake.
- Add Nuts: For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the cinnamon mixture before swirling.
- Adjust the Glaze: For a thicker glaze, reduce the milk slightly. If you prefer a thinner, more drippy glaze, add a bit more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
