1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

How to Prepare Cinna-bun Cake:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350F and greasing a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine all of the base ingredients except for the melted butter. Mix until well combined, and then add the melted butter last, stirring until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Next, in a separate bowl, combine all of the topping ingredients and mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls over the base, attempting to distribute the mixture as evenly as possible across the entire base. Use a butter knife to swirl the topping into the base.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, until it is fully cooked. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl.
Once the cake is finished baking, remove it from the oven and immediately glaze it while it is still warm. Allow the cake to cool before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Cinna-bun Cake!
