Guys, there are no words for this Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe. Homemade cinnamon roll filling is swirled inside and on top of rich vanilla cake, making a mouth-watering cake that I literally could not stop eating.

It’s kind of like coffee cake, but better because it’s way more cinnamon roll-y (totally a thing).

So, eating this Cinnamon Roll Cake for breakfast?? I can’t tell you what to do…

Ugh.

Why is it that when you look one thing up—ONE THING—suddenly Amazon thinks you need about 1000 recommendations inundating your Amazon account?

The yoga cat calendar I looked up as a joke for a friend’s birthday gift doesn’t mean I need recommendations for all things cat-related.

The irony is that I’m more of a dog person and don’t even like cats all that much (minus the time I was 9 years old and cats were everything) so these recommendations are completely and utterly useless.

Come on Amazon, be better than this.

You know what is better than Amazon?

Ohh, I think you’re picking up what I’m putting down.

This Cinnamon Roll Cake.

It’s this combination of cinnamon roll filling and vanilla cake with cinnamon icing (because what’s a cinnamon roll without icing?? The eternal question…) and it was amazing. Like, someone take it away from me before I eat the whole thing in one sitting.

I’d love to say I was joking about that.

Of course, this Cinnamon Roll Cake would be fantastic all year long, but I’m digging it during the fall season, mainly because fall is the time when the shorts and tanks get put away in favor of bulky sweaters and jeans so when I eat a few slices of this, it’s not all that obvious.

(The run on sentence to end all other run ons. 🙄)

Let me just paint a picture here for you.

A slice (or two—I’m not here to judge) of this Cinnamon Roll Cake recipe paired with some Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte (guys, refined sugar-free!! And tastes better than the real thing 🙌🏻) while you’ve got a fire going and some seasonal fall music (whatever that is).

Right? I’m quite the wordsmith.

So, let’s talk this Cinnamon Roll Cake.

First of all, I opted to make it in a springform pan. Why, you might ask? Mmm, couldn’t really tell you. A square pan would work just pan. In fact, a 8×11 pan would work just fine as well.

Get crazy and do what you want.

Live your own life.

Cinnamon Roll Cake Recipe Tips & Tricks:

  • The cake batter will be somewhat thick, but that’s completely normal. It’s full of sour cream and oil to keep the cake moist, but it is a thick batter.
  • The cinnamon roll filling will be split in half. You will use half in the center and then the rest will be put on top.
  • I chose to use a homemade cinnamon icing, but you could definitely make a vanilla icing or a cream cheese icing.
