CINNAMON ROLL CAKE FROM SCRATCH
This homemade cinnamon roll cake is from scratch and it is a family pleaser. The cake is moist with an added cinnamon swirl throughout and topped with a vanilla glaze.
Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cup buttermilk (see substitution in the notes)
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
½ cup melted unsalted butter (1 stick)
FOR THE CINNAMON SWIRL:
½ cup softened unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
FOR THE GLAZE:
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
Instructions
FOR THE CAKE:Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheight.
Grease a 13x9 inch pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk (or sour milk), eggs and vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again, just until all ingredients are incorporated.
Turn the mixer on medium and slowly add in the melted butter. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined. Don't mix for several minutes here as that will make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the greased 9x13 inch pan and set it aside while you make the crumb topping.
FOR THE CINNAMON SWIRL:
Mix all the topping ingredients together very well. Depending on how soft the butter is, you may need to use a mixer. Sprinkle (or drop) the mixture over the cake and swirl the cinnamon mixture and batter with a knife to marble.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees Farenheight for approximately 30-35 minutes. Let the cake sit on a rack for about 20 minutes before adding the glaze.
FOR THE GLAZE:
Mix all the glaze ingredients together. Once the cake is fully baked and cooled for about 20 minutes , drizzle the glaze over it. Serve the cake warm.
NOTES
*If you don't have buttermilk, you can make sour milk as a substitution: Pour 1 ½ cup of milk into a cup or bowl. Take out 1 ½ tablespoon of the milk and replace it with 1 ½ tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Mix together and let it sit for a couple of minutes before adding to the batter.
This cake is best eaten warm. Store leftovers well covered in the fridge and heat for a bit in the microwave to warm up slices.
