Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter over the cinnamon swirl layer.
- Use a knife to create a marbled effect by gently swirling the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake!
