Cinnamon Roll Cake
I’m not big into making breakfast for my children. I like things quick and easy to get the day going. Occasionally though I’ll wake earlier and whip up something warm for them to start their day. I did this last week and wow, this recipe is a keeper.
My tip, let it cool for more than 10 minutes. While it is good then, I liked it better when it was cooled a little more – the cinnamon part got a little crispy.

Cinnamon Roll Cake
- 3 c. flour
- 1/4 tsp.salt
- 1 c. sugar
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 c. milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 c. butter, melted
Topping:
- 1 c. butter, softened
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9×13 pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes or until done {took mine 40 minutes}.
Glaze:
- 2 c. powdered sugar
- 5 Tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Drizzle over warm cake.






This looks very yummy. I made one using a box cake mix before but it was too sweet. Yuck. I think I’ll try this out tomorrow.
Oh yeah this isn’t a box mix or a refrigerated roll recipe
Going to try it this weekend as I’ve got company and extra people to help eat it.
