The Best Cinnamon Roll Cake

This cinnamon roll cake first made its debut on the blog in 2012. One of the first and BEST recipes here on the blog. But the pictures just weren’t doing it any justice. A soft and gooey Cinnabon cinnamon roll turned into a cake!? You know this HAS to be good! The best part is every time I make it, I have all of the ingredients on hand, so there’s no grocery trip required. This cake gets swirled with buttery cinnamon brown sugar and is baked to perfection. Once you pull it out of the oven, you add on the glaze and it just melts on top perfectly. I am telling you, this cake is to die for. It’s the perfect comfort dessert and great for any occasion! My kids beg me for it all of the time. Serve it fresh out of the oven and it will be gone in a matter of minutes!

Flour: Provides the base for the cake, giving it structure and texture. Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the cake, balancing the sweetness. Sugar: Adds sweetness to the cake batter and the cinnamon filling. Baking Powder: Helps the cake rise and become light and fluffy. Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the batter, so you have an extra tender cake. Eggs: Contribute to the cake’s structure and also help bind the ingredients together. Vanilla: Infuses a warm, aromatic flavor into the cake, enhancing its taste. Butter (melted and softened): Melted butter in the batter adds richness, while softened butter in the filling creates a gooey texture. Brown Sugar: Creates a luscious, caramel-like filling with a hint of molasses flavor. Cinnamon: For that classic cinnamon roll taste. Nuts (optional): Adds crunch and a nutty flavor for those who enjoy extra texture.

For the Glaze:

Powdered Sugar: Adds sweetness and also gives the glaze a smooth texture. Milk: To adjust the consistency. Vanilla Extract: For some extra delicious flavor!

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cake

Grab all of your ingredients and get ready to make the most amazing cinnamony dessert! Cinnamon roll cake will have the whole family hooked after the first bite.

Can I Add Nuts to My Cake? The recipe has an option to add nuts with the butter cinnamon brown sugar mixture. You can add chopped pecans or even walnuts for an even better cake! How Do I Tell if The Cake is Done? Stick a toothpick in the center and if it comes out clean it is done. The cinnamon roll cake will be slightly brown and the edges will slightly pull away from the sides. Even Spreading: When spreading the buttery cinnamon filling, try to distribute it as evenly as possible over the cake batter to ensure a consistent swirl throughout. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature. This helps them mix together smoothly and evenly. Cream Cheese Filling: Mix softened cream cheese with the brown sugar and cinnamon for a tangy and creamy filling.
