Cinnamon Bun Cake

Base:
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

Topping:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups icing sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9 x 13 baking pan (buttered).

Mix all of the base ingredients together, with the exception of the butter.  Add the melted butter last, and then pour into your prepared pan,

Mix all of the topping ingredients together in a separate bowl.  Mix well.  Drop by teaspoonful over the base, as evenly as you can over the entire base.  Take a butter knife and swirl the topping into the base.  Pop into the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes.

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze and set aside.

Remove from oven and glaze the cake while still warm.

 This cake is so very rich and buttery and is melt-in-your-mouth heavenly.  It's great for breakfast occasions and holiday fare.

White Chocolate Cinnamon Pretzels

1 bag of pretzels (waffle)
2/3 cup of oil
1/3 cup of sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar mixture for sprinkling
1 cup white chocolate chips

Whisk together oil, sugar, and cinnamon.  Pour over pretzels in a microwave safe bowl.
Stir until pretzels are evenly coated.
Microwave pretzels with mixture for 1 minute.  Take out and stir.  Microwave 45 more seconds.
Spread pretzels evenly on 2 cookie sheets lined with parchment or wax paper.
While still warm, sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
Melt white chocolate (be careful not to burn) and drizzle over cooled pretzels. 

***This is the first Christmas I made these.  They are a fabulous mixture of sweet and salty.  It's safe to say, this will now be a Christmas tradition treat.  And maybe even year round

***I put the melted white chocolate in a sandwich bag. Clipped the edge of the bottom and drizzled.  Much easier than trying to 'pour and drizzle'.

I found this recipe from Your Cup of Cake.
