Cinnamon Roll Cake

Husband's cousin's birthday last Saturday and he requested the Apple Pie.. Yes, a pie for his birthday. I had been eyeing a Chocolate fudge cake for the day but he requested something cinnamon-y. Pulled out this recipe which I had bookmarked long back. Turned out great, very flavorful.

It is actually a giant Cinnamon roll, with its texture, flavor and the glaze. Easy to make and just right for a cinnamon fix.


Preheat the oven at 180 degrees C. Whip the egg and mix everything except the butter. Stir in the butter slowly. Pour into a greased 8 or 9 inch round cake pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients until well combined. Drop on the cake batter slowly and swirl it in with a knife. Bake at 180 degrees until the center when tested comes out baked, my oven took 35 minutes.

For the glaze, mix everything together and pour over the cake when it is still warm, you may want to wait for 10-15 minutes after the cake is out of the oven.
