Description

Easy to make cinnamon roll cake. Enjoy warm with icing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in milk, oil, and egg until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  5. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of cinnamon mixture over the batter.
  7. Swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter using a knife.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Let the cake cool slightly before frosting.
  11. Spread icing over warm cake and serve.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the cinnamon mixture.
  • Add chopped nuts to the cinnamon mixture for extra texture.
