Being pregnant sure gives me a sweet tooth and it seems like if I'm not eating something sweet then I'm thinking about something sweet that I would love to be eating. This unusual for me sweet tooth was my first inkling that we would be welcoming another little girl to our family.
On this particular day... cinnamon rolls sounded so good but I didn't have the time or energy to go through the whole process so I settled for something in the middle. This is a cake that has the flavors of cinnamon rolls and takes much less time. A couple months back I made something similar without the glaze on top and it was good... but the glaze really adds a lot.
The recipe for the cinnamon swirl and glaze come from Eating on a Dime. They also give a recipe for the cake batter from scratch. I took some help from the store and used a butter cake mix.
Let's Get Crafty!
Preheat oven to 350
Make according to the instructions (mine called for 1 cup water, 1/3 cup butter and 3 eggs)
1 box butter cake mix
Pour into a non-stick sprayed 9x13 pan.
Mix together for the Cinnamon Swirl:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Drop spoonfuls onto the top of the batter.
Use a knife to swirl it around into the cake batter without completely mixing it together.
Bake for 30 minutes
While the cake is baking - mix together the ingredients for the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Drizzle the glaze over the cake and enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day.
