Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-blended.
  3. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Drop spoonfuls over the batter and swirl gently.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
