Patch Recipes: Cinnamon Roll Cake

Here is a good dessert that tastes good and can be made quickly.

CAKE: CINNAMON FILLING: GLAZE: To start, grease a 9 X 13 glass cake pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Into your stand mixer, or large mixing bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, eggs and vanilla. Pour the milk over the other ingredients and mix well.

Miss Mamie's has made me rethink my attitude toward cupcakes at restaurants and bakeries. In short, they were amazing. Banana Peanut Butter, Carrot, Cheesecake, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Devil's Food, Guinness, Margarita, Mocha Caramel, Red Velvet, Reeses, Rocky Road, S'more, Strawberry, White Chocolate and Yellow—there is a nice …
