Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups light or regular sour cream
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs

Cinnamon Swirl:
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
4-5 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a
9X13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray
and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all the cake batter
ingredients and mix well. Spread the batter evenly
in the prepared pan.

In a small bowl, stir together the butter, light brown
sugar, flour and cinnamon for the swirl mixture. The
butter should be soft enough to make a smooth (but
not soupy) mixture. Drop the cinnamon/butter
mixture by tablespoons over the cake batter. Make
sure to get a few dollops close to the edges
(otherwise the cake bakes up and squeezes all the
cinnamon sugar mixture to the middle).

Using a butter knife, swirl the cinnamon mixture into
the cake batter, reaching all the way to the edges
and pulling in to create swirls from edge to edge.
Don't overswirl - just enough to create generous
loops of cinnamon and sugar throughout the cake
batter.

Bake the cake for 30-32 minutes until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few
moist crumbs.
