Quick Cinnamon Roll Cake – A Shortcut to Classic Flavor
This decadent Cinnamon Roll Cake is a moist vanilla cake swirled with cinnamon-sugar filling and topped with a rich glaze. It's an easier and quicker alternative to traditional cinnamon rolls with the same indulgent flavor.
Ingredients
- For the Cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and stir until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until well combined and creamy.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake the Cake:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Finish and Serve:
- Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Serve Warm: The cake is best served warm for that gooey, cinnamon roll-like texture.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top for added texture.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the batter and cinnamon swirl the night before. Cover and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning.
