As I said yesterday I did a lot of baking this past weekend, and in addition to the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread I posted yesterday on Once Upon a Chocolate, I made Cinnamon roll cake. It was easy and quite tasty.
Cinnamon Roll Cake
recipe adapted from Six Sisters Stuff Blog
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 Tb. butter, melted
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 T flour
3 Tb cinnamon
nuts optional
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
5 Tb milk
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:With an electric mixer or stand-up mixer, mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Once combined well, slowly stir in 4 T melted butter. Pour batter into a greased 9×13″ baking pan.
(NOTE: I used an 8×8 pan and then used some of the batter for a plain little cake 4″)
In a large bowl, mix the 2 sticks of softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nuts until well combined. Drop evenly over cake batter by the tablespoon and use a knife to marble/swirl through the cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out nearly clean from center. Place powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.
I really like cinnamon, so this recipe has three times the recommended amount. If you do not like too much cinnamon than use less. And I did not add nuts, the next time I think I may add pecans, you do not need to and it does not detract from the taste.
The cake is moist, not to sweet and has a great taste of cinnamon. You can serve this anytime but I think it would be great for a brunch or served with tea for an afternoon snack.
I hope you have a great day! And as I always ask, if you try this recipe please come back and tell me, I like to know if people try the recipes and how they adapted them to suit their tastes.

Thank you for stoppin by, Elizabeth. I keep forgetting that Pine Cones and Acorns is your site along with Once Upon a Chocolate Life. Both are DELICIOUS, by the way. 😉

Oops, I think I wrote stoppin instead of stopping. Oh well, sounds cuter. That'll work. 😉
My diet will never survive with you around! 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
Oh my this sounds yummy!
I am so excited to read your last blog entry…we have probably got the same bathtub!
We have used it no more that 10 times in 18 years! It drains the water tank and I have to wait for more hot water!….So happy to hear of your reno and looking forward to seeing what you do!

Hubby and I love cinnamon rolls but to be honest, they seem like too much work for a weekend morning. This cake looks like the perfect solution. I'll be buying the ingredients and trying it out this weekend. Thanks.
