Description
A delightful giant cinnamon roll cake that combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon and sugar in a fluffy cake, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved.
- Add sugar, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a lightly floured surface until soft and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once risen, roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface. Sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon on top. Roll the dough tightly into a log and place seam side down in a greased cake pan.
- Let the rolled dough rise again in the pan for another 30 minutes until it puffs up.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- For the icing, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the warm cake before serving.
