Cinnamon Roll Cake - GF

 Prep Time - 10 minutes

 Cook Time - 35 minutes
 Total Time - 45 minutes

Ingredients
Cake:

• 3 cups *gluten-free flour I like Pillsbury gluten-free. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum leave out if your flour already contains it.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted 

Topping:

• 1 cup unsalted butter softened  (pretty sure I could have used less - maybe 3/4 cup?)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze:

• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (possibly add a little more to get the right consistency)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
Cake:

• Preheat oven to 350° F.
• Spray a 9×13 glass baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl add the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it), salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs, and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
• Once combined stir in the melted butter.
• The cake batter will be very thick and sticky. Pour into the prepared 9×13 baking pan.

Topping:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, gluten-free flour and cinnamon together with a mixer.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the butter mixture into the cake batter.
• Use a knife to swirl the butter mixture through the cake.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Use a toothpick to check and see if the center is done.

Glaze:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, milk and pure vanilla extract together.
• Pour over the warm cake.
• Enjoy!

MY NOTES:

• This is a crazy amount of butter!  Try less in the topping next time.  
• It wasn't quite baked through to the middle after 45 minutes.  Possibly because of all that butter I dumped on top. ;-)
• It was a good Sunday brunch option and is equally good cold.

The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup.  After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. Friends, please do not scoop the flour out of the bag with your measuring cup.
