{Cinnamon Roll Cake--Fall is in the Air}

Yesterday we had a sweet family over for dinner and I wanted to try something new for dessert.  I perused Pinterest and found about two dozen desserts that looked amazing.  I finally narrowed it down to either Cinnamon Roll cake or Pumpkin Poppers.  The Cinnamon Roll cake won out, but I'll be making the Pumpkin Poppers in the next couple of weeks.  They just look too good to pass up!

The Cinnamon Roll cake turned out better than I thought it would--it was UH-MAY-ZING!

Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cake:

3 C flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 C sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 C milk
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C melted butter

Mix everything except for the melted butter.  Slowly stir in the butter and pour into a glass 9x13 glass dish.

Cinnamon Topping:

1 C softened butter
1 C brown sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together well.  Drop evenly over the cake batter and swirl around with a knife in circles or figure eights.  Bake at 350 for about 28-32 minutes.

Glaze:

2 C powdered sugar
5 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

I didn't get a picture of the glaze--what was I thinking?!?!

Once the cake is done and out of the oven, pour glaze mixture on top of warm cake.  It melts right in!

Finished product--it's a beauty!

 

Clearly no one liked it.

An added bonus to this glorious cake is that it fills your ENTIRE house with the smell of fall--which happens to be my favorite time of year.  Mmmmmm.

Enjoy, friends.  It's DELISH!
