How to Make Cinnamon Roll Loaf Cake
This Cinnamon Roll Loaf Cake is super easy to make! Just follow these simple steps below.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and thoroughly grease a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with Baker’s Joy Baking Spray.
To make the cake, in a medium bowl sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt).
In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the shortening and sugar until fluffy (for 1-2 minutes).
Add the eggs, vanilla extract and sour cream into the shortening and sugar mixture and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts, mixing well between each addition. Scrape down the bowl once complete. Set the bowl aside.
To make the cinnamon filling, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl using a fork.
Spread half of the batter throughout the greased loaf pan. Next, spread about ¾ of the cinnamon sugar filling over the batter.
Finally, spread the remaining batter over the filling, covering the cinnamon sugar filling completely with batter. Then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar filling over the top and bake for 50-60 minutes. Remove it from the oven when a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the pan and adding the icing.
To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of cream or milk in a small or medium-sized bowl. Add more cream/milk if needed until the mixture is drizzle-able.
Once the loaf has cooled for at least 30 minutes, drizzle the icing over the top. Slice and enjoy!
