Hi Bold Bakers! I am so excited to share this recipe for my Cinnamon Roll Cake. I have taken all the best bits of a cinnamon roll and re-imagined them into this awesome Cinnamon Roll Cake. You are going to love it! Already have an account? From Cinnamon Roll in a Mug, to a savory roll version like my Stuffed Bread Rolls, I am all about Cinnamon Rolls. This recipe takes it to the next level, starting with the cake. This Cinnamon Roll Cake is a super moist and sweet vanilla cake topped with a cinnamon filling that tastes just like homemade Cinnamon Rolls. The super special cinnamon filling is the trick to transforming this lovely cake into a gorgeous Cinnamon Roll Cake. To make the Cinnamon Roll filling, I combine brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and flour then pipe it in a spiral shape on the top of the cake.
This Cinnamon Roll Cake works like magic, baking up with a spiral of cinnamon roll filling on top. I am amazed at how well this technique works. You might think the cinnamon filling would sink, but it truly stays on top of the cake during baking, leaving you with one of the most beautiful and delicious cakes.
The last step to making this gorgeous Cinnamon Roll Cake is of course the cream cheese glaze, just like an authentic Cinnamon Roll would have. While still warm, I top this cake with a glaze made of powdered sugar and soft cream cheese. This cream cheese glaze not only keeps the cake super moist but adds so much tangy flavor which is the perfect contrast to that sweet cinnamon roll taste, delicious!
This impressive Cinnamon Roll Cake is surprisingly easy to make and such a refreshing take on this classic flavor. You are going to love it! For more cake ideas, try my Best Ever Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Birthday Cake!
