HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLL CAKE
This
cinnamon cake has all the features of your favorite roll and is made entirely
from scratch! Each layer of this cake is made in minutes using ingredients that
you usually have in your pantry.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter , melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter , softened
For the
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter , softened
Instructions
First, preheat
oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish.
Then, in a
large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, egg and
vanilla. Stir in the melted butter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and
smooth into an even layer.
Make the
cinnamon swirl garnish by painting all the ingredients together until smooth.
Place small
spoonfuls of the mixture evenly on top of the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl
the cake and scatter the mixture in the cake batter.
Bake 32 to
37 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Drizzle
with cream cheese frosting on a hot cake. Serve hot.
For the
cream cheese frosting, cream the butter and the cream cheese together. Add
powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk to make a smooth, soft frosting.
Sprinkle frosting on the cake with a spoon (or use a ziplock bag like I did -
just cut a hole in one of the corners and add the frosting).
This cake is
best served the same day.
Happy Cookng
Time.
