Cinnamon Roll Cake

I have not posted in awhile - truth is I lost my camera the night of the Spicy Chicken Pasta!  I was devestated!  I LOVE this camera, and Derrick gave it to me for my birthday!!  I didn't have it for our Dallas trip or anything.  We tore our house a part and thought it was gone forever.  Luckily, it appeared in a dresser drawer between two pairs of pants.  I might add that I had checked this drawer about three times prior to the camera turning up.  I am extremely thankful to have my wonderful camera back!  However, I am not sure where the picture for this recipe is, so I'll have to post without.  :)

I found this cake on Pinterest, and made it for Derrick New Years Eve morning.  It is extremely rich.  I ate two whole pieces which was a bad idea.  It is delicious, though!  It actually tastes like a cinnamon roll!  I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8 by 8 inch pan.  Happy New Year!

Cake:
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all cake ingredients except for butter.  Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9x13 pan.  For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined.  Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife.  Bake at 350 degrees for 28-32 minutes.  In our convection oven I baked it for 26 minutes.  Mix ingredients for glaze and drizzle over cake while still warm.
