Gran's Cinna-Bon Cake

With a name like "Cinna-bon" this had a lot to live up to... and it totally came through! This cake is heaven on earth and really easy too! 

Base

3 C Flour

1/4 tsp Salt

1 C Sugar

4 tsp Baking Powder

1 1/3 C Milk

2 Eggs

2 tsp Vanilla

1/2 C Butter (melted) - add last

Topping 

1 C Butter -softened 

1 C Brown Sugar

2 TBsp Flour

1 TBsp Cinnamon

Glaze

2 C Icing Sugar

5 TBsp Milk

1 tsp Vanilla 

Directions

Base

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except melted butter. Mix in melted butter last (I am not sure why the melted butter is called for last, but I followed instructions and this cake was bomb🤷🏼‍♀️) Pour batter into a 9x13 baking dish. 

Topping

Mix all ingredients. Should be a very thick sugary mixture. Drop by spoonfuls into batter, then take a knife and swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cake batter.

Bake cake for 28-30 minutes. (I am not sure if my oven bakes cooler but I needed to bake mine for an additional 15 minutes)

As soon as cake comes out of the oven mix up your glaze. Glaze should be a thin soup consistency, pour over warm cake.

This is good warm, but it’s really good when the glaze has sat on the cake for an hour or so. Todd, went back for thirds... something that never happens. So good!
