What You Need To Make This Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe?

Flour: Choosing flour is crucial for achieving a cake with the perfect texture and flavor. All-purpose flour is the best choice. If you want to make it a bit healthier you can experiment with using whole wheat flour. Just keep in mind that using wheat flour might result in a denser cake. Alternatively, you can try a combination of both flours although it may affect the outcome of the cake.

Butter: When it comes to butter opt for high-quality butter for both the batter and the cinnamon filling. Using high-quality butter will give your cake a delicious flavor. Make sure to let the butter soften at room temperature before mixing it to ensure easy blending and a smoother texture.

Egg: Large eggs are essential for providing structure and moisture to your cake. Make sure they are at room temperature before adding them to the batter because cold eggs can affect their consistency.

Cinnamon: The heart of this recipe lies in ground cinnamon, which adds warmth and fragrance to your cake. For best results choose freshly ground cinnamon. You can adjust the amount based on your personal taste preferences since even a small quantity goes a long way.

Vanilla: To enhance the flavor profile of your cake add vanilla extract which will add depth to its taste. Opt for high-quality vanilla extract. Consider using vanilla bean paste for an extra layer of flavor.

Nuts: Whether or not you include chopped nuts in your cake is entirely up to your preference. It’s an addition that can provide some texture if desired.
Walnuts, pecans, or almonds can add a crunch that contrasts with the softness of the cake. If you have any allergies to nuts or simply prefer a version without them the cake will still be just as delicious.

Sugar: In the recipe, granulated sugar is used in the batter and brown sugar is used in the cinnamon filling. This combination creates a balanced level of sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your personal taste preferences.

Milk: You can customize the consistency of the glaze by adjusting the quantity of milk. If you prefer a thicker glaze use less milk; if you’d like a thinner consistency add more milk. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness. Moisture to the cake.

Steps To Make Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to grease a baking pan that measures 9×13 inches.

Step 2: In a bowl combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Then add milk, eggs and vanilla to the mixture. Use either an electric or stand mixer to mix everything.

Step 3: Slowly incorporate 4 tablespoons of melted butter into the batter. Once well combined pour the batter into the greased pan.

Step 4: To make the cinnamon filling take another bowl and mix together softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts (if desired).

Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly, over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl and create patterns with the cinnamon mixture.

Step 6: Bake for around 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean.

Step 7: While waiting for the cake to bake prepare the glaze by mixing sugar with milk and vanilla. Stir until you have a smooth glaze.

Step 8: Once you remove the cake from the oven generously drizzle it with the glaze while it’s still warm.

Step 9: Allow some time for the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this treat either warm or at room temperature.

Tip:

For the Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake with a swirl that rivals those from a bakery gently heat the butter for the cinnamon filling. Mix it with sugar and cinnamon to get a smoother texture, which will make it easier to spread evenly over the cake batter. The warmth of the butter will also bring out the aroma of cinnamon and sugar ensuring that each bite is bursting with flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

While using wheat flour may slightly affect the texture you can try blending both flours for a heartier option. Just keep in mind that the final result may vary from the recipe.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Absolutely! Follow the baking instructions. Store the cake in an airtight container. Before serving warm the slices in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that freshly baked flavor.

Is it necessary to add nuts to the recipe?

Not at all! Nuts are optional. Can be left out if you prefer a nut-free version. They do provide a crunch. The cake is equally delicious, without them.
