Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of softened butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, and 2 tsps of cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Spoon the cinnamon topping over the batter and swirl it with a butter knife.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. While the cake is baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth.
  7. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over it and serve warm.
