One Dish Cinnamon Swirl

From: Family Circle

Ingredients:
cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 envelopes RapidRise Yeast
2/3 cup milk (120-130 degrees)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg

Cinnamon mixture
3 Tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Mix batter ingredients in a pre-sprayed 8x8 baking dish; let rest for 10 minutes. Combine cinnamon mixture in a small bowl by mixing with fork. Top batter evenly with cinnamon mixture; using fingers, poke topping thoroughly into batter. Bake by placing in a cold oven; set temperature to 350 degrees. Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly browned and firm in center. Cool 10 minutes. Combine icing ingredients and drizzle over warm cake.



What I did differently from the recipe:
I halved the icing recipe.

What I'll do differently next time:
Same thing. I don't like a lot of sweetness on desserts like this!

Verdict:
Thumbs up! This was a fast, easy recipe. I admit, though, I didn't like mixing all the batter in my 8x8 pan. I guess they do that to save you dishes but it was irritating to me. Also, my cinnamon mixture wasn't crumbly, but I think that's my fault. My mixtures with butter and brown sugar never crumble correctly. But the fact is, it's a yummy recipe, especially right out of the oven!
