Instructions
Cinnamon Roll Cake
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare your half sheet pan (18x13x1) with parchment paper or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, and brown sugar.
- Add in eggs, sour cream, vanilla, mixing until combined.
- In a small saucepan, combine water and butter until boiling.
- Mix the water and butter mixture into the large bowl/stand mixer, until well combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared sheet pan.
Cinnamon Filling
- Next, you want to start making the cinnamon filling.
- First, melt the butter in a microwavable bowl, then combine the cinnamon, brown sugar and flour with the butter. Mix until well combined.
- Place dollops of the filling around the prepared cake batter, evenly. Use a knife to gently swirl, but be careful to not mix. Bake 17-22 minutes or until golden and toothpick comes out clean.
- Once the cake is ready, let it rest while you make the frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl or stand mixer, until fluffy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Beat about 3 minutes, until well combined.
- Spread onto the warm cake evenly. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired. Then, let it set for about 20 minutes or just dig in with a spoon while it is still warm. Enjoy!
