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!
