"This Cinnamon Roll Layer Cake is super moist and has a wonderful flavor combination of cinnamon cake layers, brown sugar, and cinnamon cream cheese frosting!..."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 1/2 sticks (170g) unsalted butter, softened ( holds it shape but dents when pressed)
•
2 cups (400g) sugar
•
4 eggs
•
3 cups (342g) cake flour (spooned into measuring cup and leveled off) If you do not have cake flour see substitution in Notes below.
•
2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda
•
1 teaspoon (3g) cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
•
1 1/4 cups (296g) buttermilk — if you do not have buttermilk, see substitution below
•
1/4 cup (54g) vegetable oil
•
1 Tablespoon (12g) vanilla extract
•
1/2 cup (108g) light brown sugar, packed
•
1 teaspoon (6g) cinnamon
•
5 Tablespoons (30g) powdered sugar
•
2 Tablespoons (28g) light brown sugar, packed
•
1 Tablespoon (6g) ground cinnamon
•
1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
•
1 Tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons (15g) very hot water (hot water to dissolve the sugar)
•
2 sticks ,1 cup, (226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
•
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese. Using reduced fat or the spreadable cream cheese will cause the frosting to be too soft. Soften very slightly.
•
2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla extract
•
1/2 teaspoon salt (2g) optional - it will cut the sweetness, popcorn salt is best to use because it is fine and dissolves faster
•
6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar
•
1 teaspoon (6g) cinnamon
•
1/4 cup of Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
•
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
•
Piping Tips (Optional): French Tip 8B for piping around the top, Star tip 21 for shell border.
