Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday and I’m not too excited. We live pretty far from family, so there is no celebration to attend and our little ones are too young to understand what Mother’s Day is. Instead, I am using it as an opportunity to save my calories until Memorial Day when I blow through them with lots and lots of bbq. That being said, I will take any excuse to make a delicious meal for someone, especially a brunch meal. This week we will explore some delicious Mother’ Day options for your weekend needs.
Let’s start the Easy Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake by setting the oven to preheat at 350 degrees.
Mix flour, salt, sugar, baking powder with a whisk. In a separate bowl mix the milk, eggs and vanilla. Mix the wet and dry together, then add in the melted butter.
Use some baking spray to spray a rectangular cake pan, 9×13, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
INGREDIENTS :
Cake:
½ cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
3 cups flour
2 tsp vanilla
4 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1½ cups milk
Topping:
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp cinnamon
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
5 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS :
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix all the cake ingredients together until well combined.
Pour into a greased 9×13 pan.
For the topping, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined.
Spread evenly on the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
For the glaze, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl until it is a consistency like pancake syrup.
While warm drizzle the glaze over the cake and it will set into a harder glaze.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
