This Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe is SO easy and SO delicious! After tasting this you will never want to make regular cinnamon rolls again!
I tried to avoid posting this Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe for a few weeks because I always like adding lots of dessert recipes to my blog much closer to Christmas. But, somehow, I couldn’t NOT post it because its one if the easiest and tastiest cakes I’ve made in a while.
I took some help from the store by using a cake mix to speed things up {because the holidays mean a lot less time spent in the kitchen…at least it does for me!} but if you wanted to make this from scratch, you could definitely use my Double Vanilla Sour Cream Cupcake recipe, swirled with the butter-cinnamon mixture and baked the same way as described below in the recipe.
In case you were wondering, this cake is the bomb dot com. It’s filled with lots of sweet and buttery crevices that are drizzled and filled with icing. SO good!!

Have a wonderful weekend!
PS–if cinnamon cake isn’t your thing, try my perfect chocolate cake recipe with accompanying frosting. It’s one of my most popular recipes!

Dumb question…what are the measurements of your half sheet pan?
Good Sunday Morning, up very early made this for three of my grand children who spent the week end with ” granny ” still sleeping but surprise for them upon awakening.
Plus is came out perfect!
It looks nice and easy to make on a Sunday morning or for a party. I really enjoy you blog. What a beautiful family!
I was wondering the same thing. What is the size of a half size sheet cake pan. The largest I have is a jelly roll pan.
18×13!!
why so we line only half of the sheet pan?
A half sheet pan is an 18×13 pan.
