Taste of Home Tuesday: Two for One

Ok neither one of these recipes came from Taste of Home, but they are both incredibly yummy and I wanted to share.:)  The first recipe I found on Pinterest and is called Cinnamon Roll Cake.  You can click here for step-by-step instructions with pictures. 

Cinnamon Roll Cake

Time: 15 minutes hands on
Yield: 12 generous slices
Recipe from Picky Palate

CAKE:
3 C flour
1/4 t salt
1 C sugar
4 t baking powder
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
1 1/2 C milk
1/2 C butter, melted

CINNAMON FILLING:
1 C butter, softened
1 C brown sugar
2 T flour
1 T cinnamon

GLAZE:
2 C powdered sugar
5 T milk
1 t vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:
Into your stand mixer, or large mixing bowl put 3 C flour, 1/4 t salt, 1 C sugar, 4 t baking powder, 2 eggs
and 2 t vanilla. Pour the 1 1/2 C milk over the other ingredients and mix well.
While the mixer is still running  slowly add the 1/2 C melted butter. Mix just until combined.
Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread the batter out evenly in the pan.
To make the cinnamon filling use a small bowl and a wooden spoon to combine 1 C softened butter, 1 C brown sugar, 2 T flour and 1 T cinnamon.
Drop the cinnamon filling by spoonfuls onto the cake batter.  Take a butter knife and drag it through both the cinnamon and cake batter layers, making a pretty marble effect.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together 2 C powdered sugar, 5 T milk and 1 t vanilla. Pour the glaze over the warm cinnamon cake. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Enjoy the yummy yummy goodness!!

The second recipe is a family recipe called Chocolate Marshmallow Bars.  I don't have a picture so you'll just have to trust me when I say that they are absolutely amazing!  (I should have done a step-by-step tutorial with pictures so I had an excuse to make them again.;))

Bottom:

3/4 C butter or margarine

1 1/2 C sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/3 C flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

3 Tb. cocoa

4 C marshmallow

Topping:

1 1/3 C chocolate chips

3 Tb butter or margarine

1 C peanut butter

2 C rice krispies

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla; beat until fluffy.  In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa.  Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.  Spread in a greased jelly roll pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

Sprinkle on the marshmallows and put back into the oven just until the marshmallows are nice and fluffy.  Remove from the oven and spread the marshmallows with a water dipped knife.  Cool.

Topping: Combine the chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter in a small bowl.  Melt, stirring often.  Add the cereal.  Spread over the cake and marshmallows and chill.
