• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
   • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined and crumbly.
4. Assemble the Cake:
   • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
   • Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter.
   • Pour the remaining cake batter on top and gently spread it out. Use a knife to swirl the batter lightly, creating a marbled effect.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Prepare the Glaze:
   • While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
7. Cool and Glaze:
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.
8. Serve:
   • Slice and serve your delicious Cinnamon Roll Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
