Who love cinnamon rolls? I do, I do! Yesterday morning I was craving cinnamon rolls so I decided to make some. I went over to my good friend Paula’s blog, Call Me PMc, to check out her cinnamon roll recipe. Ack! I didn’t realize that it would take 2 hours for the dough to rise so I had to resort to something else. We were starving and we couldn’t wait over 2 hours for breakfast! So I visited Pinterest and found this amazing recipe for a cinnamon roll cake. I decided to settle on this recipe but I cut the recipe in half and did something a little different with the glaze. Oh. My. Goodness. This is the BEST cake I’ve had in a long time. It’s moist, sweet and full of yummy goodness. I Hope you enjoy this recipe!
Ingredients
For the cake mix
- 1 1/2 C All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 C white sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 C milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 C butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1/2 C butter, room temp
- 1/2 C packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1 C powdered sugar
- 2.5 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, white sugar, baking powder, milk, egg and vanilla.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Pour the cake mix into a greased 8×8 baking dish. Drop the cinnamon sugar topping into small drops on the top of the cake. Swirl with a knife.
- Bake at 350 for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the glaze ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- When the cake is done baking, poke holes into it with a toothpick (I used a large skewer so the holes would be a little bigger than a regular toothpick hole)
- Pour the glaze over the cake.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

My family likes cinnamon rolls on the weekend …. but truthfully, I'm not always that ambitious! This is much easier!
This looks delicious. I can't wait to give it a try. I would love it if you'd share it with us over at Real Housemoms for Fabulous Fridays!
Yeah…. I think I am making this this coming weekend for breakfast! Looks fabulous!
WAY easier than cinnamon rolls. Anything that takes that long to make loses my attention! But cinnamon rolls in a cake? H-E-L-L-O and yes, please! Sign this girl up! Can you say, 'Christmas morning'?
Wow, this sounds delicious. Pinning!
Thanks for sharing at All my Bloggy Friends. I'm looking forward to seeing what you share this week!
