Gooey Cinnamon Cake (Print Version)
Soft, buttery cake packed with swirls of cinnamon and topped with a sugary glaze. Just like cinnamon rolls but easier.

01 -
1/2 cup salted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups milk

13 -
5 tablespoons milk
14 -
2 cups powdered sugar
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9x13 pan lightly with spray so nothing sticks.
02 -
Grab a hand mixer and blend together flour, sugar, and baking powder with eggs, milk, and vanilla. Once mixed, add the melted butter and mix lightly. Pour into the prepared dish.
03 -
Stir the cinnamon, brown sugar, flour, and softened butter until smooth and combined.
04 -
Scoop bits of the cinnamon mix onto your batter. Drag a knife through the dollops to spread them in swirls across the cake.
05 -
Pop the pan in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife stuck in the middle comes out without goo.
06 -
Mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the cake while it’s still warm.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
This dessert blends the sweet cinnamon roll taste with the simplicity of making it all in one pan.
02 -
Tastes best fresh from the oven while the glaze is soft and drippy.
