Cinnamon Roll Cake

This is a really nice, rich "coffee cake" type recipe that I've been making for years. Not sure where I found it.

Ingredients

Cake:

• 3 c. all-purpose flour

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• 1 c. white sugar

• 4 tsp. baking powder

• 1 1/2 c. milk

• 2 eggs

• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1 Tbsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 c. butter, melted

Topping:

• 1 c. butter, softened

• 1 c. brown sugar

• 2 Tbsp. flour

• 1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Glaze:

• 2 c. powdered sugar

• 5 Tbsp. milk

• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

• Mix all cake ingredients together except for the butter.

• Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9x13 pan.

• For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife.

• Bake at 350 degrees F for 28-32 minutes.

• While warm, drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Notes

• I have made this with oil once when I was short on butter. It works, but it is definitely not as flavorful as with the butter and I don't really recommend it.

• I've found that the cake can really dry out after a few days, so keep it covered if you won't be serving immediately. If I plan to bring this cake to an event, I don't make it farther ahead than the night before.

• The glaze measurements are just a guideline, I just keep adding milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
