Michelle's Favorite Cinnamon Roll Cake

This is my all-time favorite breakfast cake. I LOVE it. So yummy! Obviously mom will point out how fattening it is, but you know what - as long as I don't eat it more than a few times a year I'm good with it. :) Try it next Christmas! Trust me, it's delicious.

Tip: Be sure you swirl the cinnamon filling well with your knife so it gets through out the cake.)

Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cake:
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 Cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 - 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted

CINNAMON FILLING:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 TBS flour
1 TBS cinnamon

GLAZE:
2 Cups powdered sugar
5 TBS milk
1 tsp vanilla

1. Into your stand mixer, or large mixing bowl put 3 C flour, 1/4 t salt, 1 C sugar, 4 t baking powder, 2 eggs and 2 t vanilla. Pour the 1 1/2 C milk over the other ingredients and mix well.

2. While the mixer is still running slowly add the 1/2 C melted butter. Mix just until combined.
3. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread the batter out evenly in the pan.

4. To make the cinnamon filling use a small bowl and a wooden spoon to combine 1 C softened butter, 1 C brown sugar, 2 T flour and 1 T cinnamon.

5. Drop the cinnamon filling by spoonfuls onto the cake batter.

6. Take a butter knife and drag it through both the cinnamon and cake batter layers, making a pretty marble effect.

7. Bake this baby at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. In a small mixing bowl whisk together 2 C powdered sugar, 5 T milk and 1 t vanilla. Pour the glaze over the warm cinnamon cake. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Julie's Eggless Cookie Dough

Want to eat some cookie dough, but don't want to get salmonella? You aren't the only one! Julie wanted to share this yummy recipe that could be eaten on its own, or easily be added to vanilla ice cream to make it homemade cookie dough ice cream. :)

Thanks Julie!

Eggless cookie dough

(meant to be eaten as dough, not cookies)

stir together:

1/4 c. butter, soften

3/4 c. brown sugar (I did half brown half white because I ran out of brown)

then stir this in

1/4 tsp. vanilla (I doubled this  cause I like vanilla)

1/4 c milk

then mix in:

1 c. flour

pinch of salt

1/2 c. chocolate chips

Chill this in the refrigerator or shape into balls and freeze for a few hours, then take them out and put in a zip lock bag and refreeze. The mixture will be a bit wet at first, but should harden after it's been chilled a bit

it tasted pretty good too.
