With Buttery Cinnamon Swirls And A Sweet Glaze, This Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Cake Is Sure To Be A New Favourite!
A gluten free cake version of classic cinnamon rolls. If you’re looking for a shortcut, this recipe is it! Still gooey, glazed and filled with brown sugar and cinnamon. I just love how the top gets a little bit of a crispy, sweet topping.
FOR THE BATTER. To make this gluten free cinnamon roll cake, begin by mixing the gluten free self raising flour, sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla together. From there, stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9×13 pan.
FOR THE CINNAMON SWIRLS. Then you will mix your cinnamon filling ingredients together and drop over the cake. Swirl your topping and cake mixture with a knife going up and down the length of the pan.
BAKE. Bake at 350F/180C Fan/Gas 4 for about 35 – 40 minutes. While baking, make your glaze and drizzle over the warm cake.
I recommend serving this yummy treat when it’s warm because it just melts in your mouth and tastes just like regular Cinnamon Rolls! Once its cool just reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
