September Day 8 Cinnamon Rolls Cake

I'm about to sit down and do some memory keeping.  

A new recipe is going  inside today.  

  

My family loves cinnamon rolls but they take a long time to make.  

So when I heard of a cinnamon roll "cake" - I knew I wanted  to try it.  

I'll still make the real deal but when time is a factor; this

is  a new option.  

The recipe will be added  at the end of this post and

also what I did different. 

  This photo is how she looked before going in the oven.  

I'm not sure if I made a mistake or not but after mixing the bottom layer;

you're supposed to add a topping of brown sugar and softened butter?

I've always done that part for rolls using a little harder butter using a pastry blender

so it makes crumbles.  Well; my butter was really melted and it just made this sweet goo.

I used it anyways and just spread it on top.   

 Didn't look bad coming out of the oven.  

Wish you could have smelled it.  

 It said to frost warm. Mmm mmm mmm.  

I loved how after using a knife to 

swirl through before baking; it created these little 

nooks n crannies.  

 Moist... oooey... gooey... 

holey moley.  

 With all certainty; it's a keeper for 

this family.  

So thought I'd share it here in case any of you

need a big ole heap of sweet comfort.  

Here's the recipe:

(I found it on Pinterest and credit goes to

Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

4 tsp baking powder (yes you read that right) 

1 1/2 cups milk 

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup butter melted

3/4 cup butter softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoons flour

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

5 Tablespoons milk

1 tsp vanilla

Mix flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs and vanilla together.

Stir in melted butter, slowly, Pour into greased 9x13 pan.

Mix topping ingredients  (3/4 cup butter softened brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon) Drop over cake mixture evenly.

Swirl your topping and cake mixture with a knife going up  and down the length of the pan but only inserting it in the cake mix a little- not all the way)

Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes

Top with the glaze which is made mixing two cups pwd sugar, 5 Tablespoons milk and 1 tsp vanilla.  Drizzle over the cake while it's still warm. 

Enjoy!   

The only things I did differently:

as I told you my butter was too melty for the topping part-

but honestly I think I'll do it that way again.  It's good!

Also, I have banties... so had to use 4 eggs coz they're so small. (most of you won't have that lol)

I didn't get the part using 2Tablespoons of flour- so I didn't.

I just sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar on top of the gooey brown sugar butter mixture.

The last thing I did different was I used a little more milk on the frosting part.

My oven had it baked at the 28 minutes in a glass pan.  

Alright signing off friends.

To all my friends and family affected by these

storms... fires, 

and earthquake....

we are praying for you.!
