Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for the filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  3. Add the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the filling.
  5. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the batter, then dollop the remaining batter on top. Gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t skip the swirling step; it’s key to achieving those beautiful cinnamon swirls.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary. Start checking for doneness a few minutes early.

Easy Variations

  • Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra flavor boost.
  • Drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled cake for added sweetness.
  • Experiment with different spices, like nutmeg or cardamom, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit, like berries or sliced bananas, for a refreshing contrast.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
  • A cup of coffee or tea to complement the warm flavors of the cake.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or enjoy it cold!
