How To Make Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with oil or cooking spray.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing dish.
Add milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until a batter forms.
Gently incorporate the butter into the batter, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired) for the filling.
Spoonfuls of the filling mixture should be evenly distributed over the cake batter.
Use a knife to create swirls and marbling patterns throughout the batter.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Once you remove the cake from the oven, drizzle the glaze over it while it’s still warm.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
