The taste of cinnamon rolls made into a simple & delicious cake!
I love cinnamon rolls, and this Cinnamon Roll Cake with Cream Cheese Icing is just as good. Sometimes with cinnamon rolls I don’t like how long it takes to prepare them so I came up with this Cinnamon Roll Cake that has the same taste and texture of a cinnamon roll, but only takes a few minutes to make. It uses basic ingredients from your pantry and it literally comes together in a matter of minutes. I have to admit, I liked it without the icing, but the kids insisted that I put it on so I did. Try the cake without it first and see how you like it then you could drizzle it on or even serve it on the side. The next time you’re craving cinnamon rolls, but don’t have the time to make them, whip up this simple and delicious cinnamon roll cake!
