How To Make Cinna-bun Cake in the oven!
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9 x 13 baking pan by greasing it with butter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the base ingredients except for the melted butter. Add the melted butter last and then pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix together all the topping ingredients until well combined. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the base. Use a butter knife to swirl the topping into the base, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Set aside.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven. While it’s still warm, drizzle the glaze over the cake, spreading it evenly.
Tips:
- Even Topping Distribution: When dropping the topping onto the base, try to distribute it as evenly as possible for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Swirling Technique: Use a butter knife to gently swirl the topping into the base. This creates a beautiful marbled pattern and ensures a consistent taste throughout.
- Glazing Warm Cake: Glazing the cake while it’s still warm allows the glaze to seep into the cake, enhancing its moisture and flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain the freshness of the cake. It can be reheated for a warm and gooey experience.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy this Cinna-bun Cake with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or dessert.
