I took this cake to a potluck dinner we were invited to and brought home an empty pan. In fact we were scrapping the sides of the pan as I left. Just trying to get every last bit of yumminess out of the pan!! You could say it was a big hit!

This cake is easy to put together. First, mix together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Then slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Next, make the topping by mixing together the butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Drop the mixture evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Put the pan in the oven and bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes.
Once the cake is out of the oven, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze and drizzle it over the warm cake.

This is a tried and true recipe in our home! Feeds a crowd, everyone loves it, very moist.

Tasted much more like a cinnamon roll than I expected! The only change I’d make is using much less milk in the glaze; I thought it was too thin, but it did taste really good! Overall it was really easy and came out really well, great recipe!

I cannot bake dairy, so I tried subbing out the dairy ingredients. I used 1 part grape juice and two parts water for the milk, the flavor was good. I used 1/2 cup oil in the cake and 3/4 in the cinnamon mixture, and it was just floating in oil. Any idea how i can cut it down better?
Leigh Anne says
Sorry but I don’t do any dairy free cooking these days. Can you use Almond milk?
