Cinnamon Roll Cake From Scratch Recipe Card

This Cinnamon Roll Cake has all the features of your favorite roll and is made entirely from scratch! Also, check out our video to see how to make it!

Cinnamon Roll Cake from Scratch

It's not only made from scratch but so ridiculously easy to make! Everything comes together so quickly and no special equipment is needed. The base is a delicious yellow butter cake with a perfect moist and delicate crumb. Melts in your mouth!

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLL CAKE

 The cinnamon filling is incredible and as soon as you make it - you will want to put it on everything! Heck, go ahead and smear your morning bagel with it! It is so good! The vanilla glaze is the perfect finishing touch on this cake. The amount of it makes it possible for the cake to be covered from top to bottom yet without soaking it and making a mess.

Every layer of this cake (the base, the cinnamon filling and the glaze) is made in just minutes using ingredients that you usually have in your pantry. I love it!! This cake tastes just like a cinnamon roll - everyone's favorite sweet roll.

    Just a couple quick tips to help those out that have never made this before.
    After you have your dry mix all bended together. And it comes time to add the milk, eggs, vanilla, then the melted butter.
    Take extra care to add the milk, then fully incorporate it in the mix. Then add eggs one at a time and whisk until fully incorporated. Then vanilla and melted butter.

    I have made the mistake of putting the milk, eggs and vanilla together in the same bowl and figured I would just dump it all in at once. And my cake never would set up😞.
    Which reminds me of one other tip. Don't start baking this cake if you have to leave in 30 minutes. I have one in the oven right now and I am almost at 42 minutes and it's still a little runny. It will often bake for 46-50 minutes. Or maybe I am over cooking it. If I am, then I don't like the way the texture is at 32 minutes.
    So my only real dispute with the recipe is the bake time . The recipe does say to add milk, eggs, then vanilla...
    ... it just doesn't stress that you must do them separately. Happy baking. -Patrick
    Ps.just pulled mine from the oven @350° & 47 minutes bake time(center rac/non convection/gas)

    Um, wow. I just ate a piece hot out of the oven and oh. my. lanta. SO good! I especially love how easy it is to make. The cake is fluffy and the cinnamon mixture is perfect. A nice quick alternative to cinnamon rolls for when you have the craving but not the time. I can't wait to eat it all and then make it again! ^_^
