Winter Warm-up Cinnamon Cake
Here in the Northeast it is COLD outside. This cinnamon roll cake is quick to make, yummy and warm after that early morning hockey practice or Sunday breakfast in bed.
The recipe:
| Flour | 3 cups |
| Sugar | 1 cup (white) |
| Eggs 2 | 2 |
| Butter | ½ cup (melted and cooled) |
| Salt | ¼ tsp (teaspoon) |
| Baking Powder | 4 tsp (teaspoons) |
| Vanilla | 2 tsp (teaspoons) |
| Milk | 1 ½ cups |
Mix everything together EXCEPT the butter. Once it is all mixed, slowly stir in the melted butter. Pour into a greased (I use Pam) 9″ x 12″ or 9″ x 13″ pan.
Topping:
| Butter (softened) | 1 cup |
| Brown Sugar | 1 ½ cup |
| Flour | 2 Tbsp (tablespoons) |
| Cinnamon | 1-2 Tbsp (tablespoon(s)) |
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife (I’m not a baker, mine was mixed throughout the batter.)
*Walnuts can be added to the topping
Bake at 350 degrees foe 28-32 minutes (until the a knife when inserted comes back clean)
Glaze:
| Powdered Sugar | 2 cups |
| Milk | 5-6 Tbsp (tablespoons) |
| Vanilla | 1 tsp (teaspoon) |
Drizzle glaze over warm coffee cake and enjoy.
