Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe

Cinnamon Roll Cake

 

I have a new recipe that serves great as breakfast and/or dessert! This Cinnamon Roll Cake recipe is fairly easy, but is sure to please everyone. It slightly reminds me of a coffee cake flavor, but definitely more moist. Instead of a crumb topping, you have an ooey gooey cinnamon and glaze topping, which sinks in as it bakes. Beware – this cake is BUTTERLICIOUS!

I personally really love cinnamon rolls, but I don’t make them often because they’re a lot of work and mess. Kneading the dough and rolling it out, plus the sprinkling of filling can make the counters quite messy. To have a delicious treat without the mess and hassle, Cinnamon Roll Cake is a great alternative. 

This recipe comes from Grin and Bake It.
