Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together ½ cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with ½ cup of milk.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the baking pan, spreading evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then drizzle over the batter.
  8. Spoon remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar mixture, leaving some swirls visible.
  9. Use a knife to create a marbled effect by dragging it through the batter.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. In a clean bowl, beat 4 oz of cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter until smooth, then gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
  12. Spread the frosting over the cooled Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars and cut into squares for serving.
