Apple Cinnamon Roll Cake

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Use cooking spray to grease a 9″ x 13″ baking pan. Set pan aside.

Add 3 cups flour, salt, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 1/2 cup milk into the bowl of your stand mixer and use the mixer to mix well. Set mixer to medium-low speed and add 1/2 cup melted butter just until combined.

Pour mixture into the greased baking pan and gently shake until smooth.

For the topping:
In medium bowl add 3/4 cup softened butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon and mix well. Evenly drop heaping spoonfuls of cinnamon mixture onto the top of the cake batter. Add apple pieces over the top.

Using a knife gently drag it through the cake batter so that the cinnamon mixture and apples are randomly mixed with batter.

Bake cake for 45 – 55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

For the glaze:
In a medium bowl add powdered sugar, 5 tablespoons milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk well and then drizzle over top of cake.
