I absolutely love this recipe I concocted over the weekend. Yep, that's right folks, introducing my gooey and delicious CINNAMON ROLL CAKE - and of course it's gluten and dairy free! Say What??
My mouth is drooling at these pictures I've taken.
It has all the flavoring of your traditional cinnamon roll but in an easy cake form. Before making this I would've said cinnamon rolls over Cinnamon Cake any day, but man when I tasted that first bite it was GAME OVER! This Cinnamon Cake knocks it out of the park.
If I'm trying a recipe that someone's posted I will always see how I can make it my own. Usually it's not that not hard because most ingredients I can't have because of allergies or GI issues. For this recipe I decided to make it my own by adding some secret ingredients (if you make the recipe you'll find out).
Over the weekend I had some of my good friends come over to try my recipes and I knew I had to pair the cake with my tofu scramble and chocolate chip waffles. Both of which are up on my blog! They were blown away with the fact that they couldn't even tell everything was 100% gluten and dairy free.
Nothing sweeter than that:)
So get going my peeps!
As always, if you make this recipe and decide to share on Instagram or Facebook, be sure to tag me @plantbasedbelly1 for Instagram and Plant Based Belly for Facebook. I can't wait to see your take on trying my recipe :)

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 and grease a round baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
Add in your milk, flax egg, vanilla, maple syrup and melted butter. Stir until it's all combined.
Pour batter into baking pan.
Next you will make your cake topping: In a seperate small mixing bowl mix melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour over cake.
Use a butter knife to swirl it into cake batter. Kind of like making little swirls all over.
Take a pinch of powdered sugar after making the swirls and toss it all over. (You'll thank me for this)
Bake for 35 minutes or until the center is set.
Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 10-12 mins.
Once cake is completely cool, you will make your cinnamon glaze.
In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, and the plant-based milk. Drizzle over the cake and watch it melt all over. YUM!
