Cinnamon Roll Cake

May 2, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 19 Comments

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.

    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.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place.

Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
