Yup. You read that right. Cinnamon Roll. And Cake. Together as one. It's like they just loved each other so much they got married or something. I think I just swooned.
I found this little miracle on Pinterest one night and didn't waste any time making it. And seriously, it lived up to the hype, as so rarely a recipe does. Right out of the oven, it was warm and gooey and dripping with melted icing, and after a 20 second hit in the microwave the next morning, breakfast was just as blessed.
This recipe is a keeper. This recipe is one I will make and take to work. Because I'm not above bribing others for their love with warm baked goods. This cake will make you Queen for the day, and really, who doesn't need that little boost for their self-esteem? Trust me. You want to make this today.
I found the recipe HERE, after finding it pinned on Pinterest. But for those of you who aren't the meandering type...
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. butter, melted
Topping:
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9x13 pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes.
Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
5 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
While warm drizzle the glaze over the cake.
Enjoy!

I found it on Pinterest too and made it last week. O. My. Goodness. It is wonderful! My husband LOVED it. If you can get passed the 3 sticks of butter - it is so worth it!!

It was amazing...I am glad you didn't mention how often we "snuck" a bite right out of the pan...
