This cake is going to knock your socks off. If you love warm cinnamon rolls loaded with cream cheese, you are going to want to dive into a piece of this yummy cake. As usual, this is an 8-inch cake, my go to for most cakes. For this cake I like to use a round cake pan so you can easily remove it from the pan and frost the edges.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix butter, milk, sugar, egg and vanilla extract. While stirring, gradually mix in wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Best part, this can all be done by hand using just a whisk or wooden spoon.
