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:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.
- Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the cake batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Enjoy the cinnamon roll coffee cake warm or at room temperature.
