26 New To Me Recipes in 2026 #4 Cinnamon Roll Cake

I found this recipe at https://www.thecountrycook.net and it is a keeper.  The recipe is simple, straightforward and delicious.  7 different people tried a piece and all of them including us were very happy with it. The cinnamon filling is perfect, and the cake is very moist.  It does taste like you're eating a cinnamon roll and  I will be making this again.

For the cake:

3 cups AP flour

1 cup white sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups milk

1 stick of butter, melted and cooled

For the Cinnamon filling:

1 and 1/2 sticks of room temperature butter (I used one and it was perfectly good)

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons AP flour

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

5 tablespoons of milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 baking dish.  In a large bowl combine the first 5 ingredients for the cake.  Then slowly add the butter.  Mix just until combined.  Do not over mix.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the filling and mix together well. Once combined, drop the cinnamon filling by spoonfuls onto the cake batter. 

Take a butter knife and make swirly, marble effect patterns all around the cake dragging the knife through both the cinnamon and cake batter.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. (40 minutes was perfect for my oven)

Combine all of the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle over the cake once it has cooled a bit.

ENJOY!

In My Kitchen-March 2026

March was a pretty good month even though it flew by.  Honestly though, they all seem to fly by now so I'm trying to just enjoy each day.

The weather was all over the place this month with spring, summer and winter temperatures so our meals were a mixture too.  Here are some of my favorite meals from March.

Chicken noodle and white bean soup with onions, garlic, ginger and cumin.  Such a comforting meal.

Lamb burgers with spicey 'fries'.  

BIG salad with lots of veggies and chicken. 

Beef and potato hand pie with a small side salad.  

Naan 'pizza' and a salad

I have always made quite a bit of our bread, but I've been on a roll and have made all of the various breads we've eaten since January.  I don't think there is any going back to store bought now.  Here are two of my favorites.

A friend of mine loves dates and sweets so I used peanut butter to stuff in a date and then dipped them in chocolate and sprinkled some with pistachio nuts and she LOVED them.  They really are pretty good and mostly pretty healthy too.  She is always bringing me things from Poland like this cute trivet and a couple more kitchen towels.

So that is what March looked like in my kitchen.  I am joining Sherry at sherrys pickings who hosts In My Kitchen and connects us to each other from all over the globe.  Thank you again for hosting Sherry. I hope everyone has a wonderful April.
