A soft, fluffy cake swirled with buttery cinnamon sugar and topped with a sweet glaze — just like a giant cinnamon roll in cake form.

Ingredients

  • For the cake batter:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cinnamon swirl:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5–6 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix until just combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over cake batter and swirl gently with a knife.
  5. Bake 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. While cake is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze.
  7. Drizzle glaze over warm cake. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Best served warm, like a gooey cinnamon roll.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon swirl for crunch.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
