Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious cinnamon bun cake:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the cream cheese glaze:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-4 tablespoons milk (adjust consistency to your liking)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cake.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl until it forms a thick paste.
- Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Then, dollop half of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of the batter. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
- Repeat with the remaining cake batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm cake.
- Serve slices of the cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious cinnamon bun cake!
