How To Make Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Add the milk, eggs and vanilla to the ingredients and mix until you have a batter.
Gently incorporate the butter into the mixture before pouring it into the pan.
In a bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts (if desired) for the filling.
Evenly distribute spoonfuls of the filling mixture over the cake batter.
Use a knife to swirl and create marbling patterns throughout the batter.
Bake in your preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking sugar, milk and vanilla until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Once you remove the cake from the oven drizzle the glaze over it while it’s still warm.
