Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cake:
3 cups flour
½ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1½ cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
½ cup butter, melted

Topping:
¾ cup butter softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 TB flour
1 TB cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
5 TB milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease 9x13 pan.

Mix flour, salt, sugar, baking powder together in a bowl.  Add milk, eggs and vanilla and mix well.

Stir in melted butter, slowly until completely incorporated. Pour into greased pan.

Make topping by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon until well blended. Drop spoonfuls over cake mixture evenly.

Swirl topping and cake mixture with a knife.

Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes.

Once out of the oven make glaze by mixing 2 cups powdered sugar, 5 TB milk and 1 tsp. vanilla. Drizzle over the cake while it's still warm.


Next time:  Cake was good but VERY sugary spots.  Try this next time:  Saw a recipe cut in half cooked in 9 inch round pan.  Thinner batter, thinner topping.  Topping poured in a thin swirl over top.  As it bakes it sinks into cake so you don’t have to swirl with a knife before baking.  Glaze is a little thicker so it holds its shape when poured in a swirl over the cake.
