Description
A delightful cake that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls into a fluffy, easy-to-make dessert, perfect for brunch gatherings or cozy family evenings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully merged in another bowl.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl in a small bowl. Spread half of the cake batter in the baking dish and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Add the remaining batter and finish with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
- Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Whisk the powdered sugar with milk for the icing until smooth, then drizzle over the warm cake before serving.
