Cinnamon Roll Cake From Scratch

March 22, 2020 by Anna 92 Comments

This Cinnamon Roll Cake has all the features of your favorite roll and is made entirely from scratch! Every layer of this cake is made in just minutes using ingredients that you have in your pantry.

If you love cinnamon desserts, like this cake, you will love our Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole and the Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donut Muffins!

So many recipes use a cake mix, a tube of biscuits or even cinnamon rolls. I don’t buy these because I love to make them using real ingredients, like flour and eggs. So I am here to tell you today that it is absolutely possible to make a Cinnamon Roll Cake from scratch, which means that all you need is basic staples and you can make an irresistible treat without sacrificing the taste or having shattered expectations. Because this cake tastes just like a cinnamon roll – everyone’s favorite sweet roll.

Pecan Pie

This Pecan Pie is one of the easiest pies you can make. The caramel pecan filling is truly decadent!

Serve this classic pie for your holiday desserts, along with my No-Bake Pumpkin Pie or my Perfect Cheesecake.

One of the classic desserts for the holidays has to be this one. It’s rich and decadent. I love pecan and I always use halves. You can chop the nuts roughly before stirring with the filling mixture. Since I don’t make pies often, I have yet to master my pie crust recipe. For a shortcut, I use a store-bought ready crust or frozen crust that just needs to be blind baked before assembling the pie. This pie is truly easy to make and bound to wow your family and guests this holiday season!

The Best Muddy Buddies

December 9, 2019 by Anna 3 Comments

These Muddy Buddies, aka Puppy Chow, are a classic holiday treat everyone loves! No butter or peanut butter needed!

This Christmas snack is quick and easy to make, just like the Rolo Pretzel Bites and Christmas M&M Cookies.

Whether you call it Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow, this chocolate cereal is a must for the holidays. My recipe does not use butter or peanut butter and makes perfect little bites. Melting chocolate with oil prevents it from clumping and makes it perfectly smooth. It will fill the cereal and prevent them from sticking together while coating with powdered sugar. This might not be the classic way to make this snack, but it is my favorite. It works every time!
