Cinnamon Bun Cake


This cake really does taste like a cinnamon bun. Delicious served warm. I think it would be great to serve for brunch even if it is a cake.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups icing sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
Method:
  1. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, vanilla, and milk.
  2. Add dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  3. Pour into a 9" x 13" greased pan.
  4. Whisk together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and butter until creamy
  5. Drop evenly over batter by tablespoons and swirl through the batter with a knife.
  6. Bake in a 350ยบ oven for 45 minutes.
  7. In  small bowl whisk icing sugar, milk, and maple extract until smooth.
  8. Drizzle over warm cake.
  9. Serve warm, although it tastes great even after it has cooled.

  10. This was really good! I served this at a ladies brunch and everyone loved it. Best warm but we heated leftovers in the microwave which worked really well.
