Cinnamon Roll Cake

Here's an extremely yummy, non-traditional cake that everyone should try at least once in their life. It only takes 1 and 1/2 c. of butter, but who's counting? It gets the honor of being the first recipe photographed in my new and improved kitchen.

Cinnamon Roll Cake- 9x13 pan
Cake:
3 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk

1/2 c. butter, melted
 Topping:
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 Tbs. flour

Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
5 Tbs. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Drizzle glaze over warm cake.

Photo Tutorial! A thank you to Shannon, who actually made the cake while I took pictures. It's so much easier, not juggling the camera while stirring with one hand!

We used this as Ben's birthday cake. We bought trick candles that were supposed to spark and never go out. They didn't work. Worst 98 cents I've ever spent.

I think Ben liked it anyway.
