Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

300g self-raising flour
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
70g butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
2 egg yolks
130ml milk, plus extra for glazing
1 tsp ground cinnamon
55g light brown soft sugar
2 tbsp caster sugar
40g butter, melted
60g icing sugar
1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
½ tbsp butter, softened
½ tsp vanilla essence

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line the bottom with baking parchment. Mix the flour, caster sugar and cinnamon together with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk the butter, egg yolks and milk together and combine with the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle, about 30 x 25cm.
  • Mix the filling ingredients together. Spread evenly over the dough then roll it up lengthways, like a Swiss roll, to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even-sized slices and pack into the prepared tin. Brush gently with extra milk and bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 mins before removing from the tin.
  • Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Place the cream cheese and butter in the centre, pour over 2 tbsp boiling water, and stir to mix. Add a little more water until you have a drizzly consistency. Stir in the vanilla essence, then drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm or cold.

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup butter (soft to the point of almost melted*)
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

  • Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife.
  • Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
  • While the cake is warm ~ drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast for the best results. If you're using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and firm before laminating the dough. This will help create flaky layers.
  • Roll the dough out evenly and tightly. If the dough is too thick, the rolls will be dense. If it's too thin, the rolls will be too delicate.
  • Brush the dough with melted butter before adding the cinnamon sugar filling. This will help the filling stick to the dough.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly before icing them. This will help the icing set properly.
