Summertime Sadness

Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey keeps buzzing in my head. Personally I think it has to do with it being too hot outside, and no rain in sight. Sigh. Even Mia and Dutch, the two dogs don’t want to stay outside. And JJ the cat wants in as soon as he gets out. Usually Mia and JJ will run everyone over trying to get outside. Even the cicadas have stopped their noise.

I would suggest a road trip, but I have to save for the major road trip in September. We’ll be travelling to see a number of people we work with in several different states.  We’ll be visiting in Tennessee, Mississippi, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa and Kansas. We’ll probably stop off in Minnesota to visit my folks as we pass by. So, expenses on hold, too hot to play, guess that calls for a new recipe I found on Facebook.

Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cake Ingredients:

3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9X13 pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 28 to 32 minutes.


Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar
5 tbsp milk

While warm, drizzle the glaze over the cake
