Gluten free Cinnabon Cake Recipe

'There are so many things I miss eating since I have been gluten free. One of those would be sinking my teeth into a hot gooey cinnamon roll and washing it down with a cup of coffee. I recently saw a recipe on facebook for Cinnabon Cake and decided it was time to give it a try.

I am so happy I did!! It was pure heaven!

I used Gluten free Pillsbury all purpose flour instead of the regular flour.

I also cut the ingredients in half because a 9 x 13 dish would be too much for my husband and I, so I used an 8 x 8 pan. 

While it was baking I checked on it and was a little worried because the liquid ingredients were bubbling and coming up the side of the cake. Since I have never made this I wasn't sure if this was normal, but continued to cook it. 

When I took it out out of the oven, I let it sit for awhile and the cake had absorbed all of the excess liquid. This must be what makes it so gooey and wonderful!

Here is the recipe for the full 9 x 13 serving.

Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake

Ingredients:
3 cups gluten free all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 T butter, melted

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 T flour
1 T cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
5 T milk
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
With an electric mixer or stand-up mixer, mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Once combined well, slowly stir in 4 T melted butter. Pour batter into a greased 9x13" baking pan.

In a large bowl, mix the 2 sticks of softened butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon until well combined. Drop evenly over cake batter by the tablespoon and use a knife to marble/swirl through the cake.

 Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out nearly clean from center. Place powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake. Serve warm (we like it straight out of the oven) or at room temperature.

Some people drizzle the glaze on but I just poured it over the top of the cake.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite recipes! 

Enjoy!!
