CINNAMON ROLL CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPES

Steps:

• To prepare dough: Combine 1 cup warmed milk, granulated sugar and yeast in a stand mixer. Let stand until the yeast starts to dissolve and foam, about 5 minutes. Whisk in egg and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Add whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Mix with a dough hook at medium speed until the dough comes together and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. (The dough will seem wet.) Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand in a warm place until risen slightly, about 1 hour.
• To prepare filling and assemble cake: Combine brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into an 18-by-10-inch rectangle. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the short ends. Cut the dough into 10 equal strips, each about 1 3/4 inches wide. Starting at a short end, roll one strip into a round. Place the rolled dough at the bottom of another strip and roll the second strip around the first. Repeat with the remaining strips. If the last few strips become too hard to roll, place the cake in the center of the prepared pan and wrap the remaining strips around the outside of the roll. (It should look like a giant cinnamon roll!) Cover and let rise in a warm place until it almost meets the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer the cake to a serving platter.
• Meanwhile, prepare icing: Combine cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until creamy. Add milk and continue beating until combined. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the icing over the top. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place dough ingredients in order suggested by the manufacturer. Select "dough" setting on the bread machine. Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing and add water or flour if needed, a Tablespoon at a time.
• When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Roll dough into a 20x10-inch rectangle. Spread with 3 Tablespoons butter; sprinkle with brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long side; pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 20 1-inch thick slices. Place 12 slices, cut side down, into a greased 9x13-inch pan, and the remaining 9 slices in a greased 7x11-inch pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Bake in a 350°F oven for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before frosting.
• In a mixing bowl, beat frosting ingredients until well mixed. Frost warm rolls. Remove rolls from pans and store in refrigerator.
• NOTE: The use of the delay timer is not recommended for this recipe.
