Easy Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups milk

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 Tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and milk until the cake batter is well combined.
  3. Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the cake batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Make the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the topping. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Add Topping and Swirl: Spread the topping evenly over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the topping through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until it reaches a consistency similar to pancake syrup.
  8. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is baked and still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. The glaze will set as it cools, creating a harder layer.
  9. Serve: Enjoy the cinnamon roll coffee cake warm or at room temperature.
