This cinnamon roll cake is one of my favorites, it’s like a fluffy cake and a cinnamon roll had a delicious baby—who could resist that? You can throw this together in about 15 minutes, making it perfect for those last-minute dessert needs or when you want to impress guests without the fuss. —The Salty Cooker

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cups vegetable oil
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅔ cups milk
  • Cinnamon Filling
  • ¾ cups brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 10 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
  • ½ cups prepared cake batter
  • Glaze
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 5-6 tablespoons milk
Directions

  3. Create the Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon filling mixture over the top of the cake batter. Use a butter knife to swirl the filling into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

  5. Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and 5-6 tablespoons of milk, mixing until smooth.
