How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Swirl
- In a separate bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the cake batter.
- Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Make the Glaze & Serve
- While the cake is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
- Once the cake is done, drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Cinnamon Roll Cake
✔️ Swirl gently: Don’t overmix the cinnamon swirl into the batter—you want to see those delicious streaks of cinnamon.
✔️ Let it cool slightly: The glaze will soak in better if the cake is warm but not too hot.
✔️ Make it extra gooey: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce or extra glaze for even more indulgence.
✔️ Store leftovers properly: Keep the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
