Do you ever crave cinnamon rolls? That sweet, gooey-ness?? Then you think about how much time is involved in making them and you just get over it?
Well, I have the perfect solution! Make a cinnamon roll cake.
You get all the same sweetness and gooey-ness in so much less time!
I took the cake to a potluck dinner we were invited to and brought home an empty pan. In fact we were scrapping the sides of the pan as I left, trying to get every last bit of yumminess out of the pan!!
I found the recipe over at Pinterest. One of my newest addictions. If you haven’t checked it out you should! If you need an invite to join let me know. It’s a great way to keep track of all those great recipes and ideas you find on your favorite blogs. (Hint: Feel free to pin any of mine!!)
The recipe came from Cookin’ Up North who got it from someone else, who got it from…. You know how it works here in the blog world.
Be sure and time it so you can eat this cake warm – everyone knows a cinnamon roll tastes better warm!

3 c. flour
1/4 tsp.salt

Leigh Anne, I also pinned this recipe awhile ago and I’m so glad you reminded me. Also, by joining Pinterest through the Facebook link, it seems to work pretty quickly. I think you go to Pinterest and then click on the fb icon and follow the prompts from there. No waiting.
That pictures of the cinnamon roll cake look yummy. I want to try it over the weekend. Would you send me an invite to pinterest as well? Looks like an intriguing site worth checking out.

I made that exact same recipe (different source – like you said, blogland….) a couple of years ago for Father’s Day and I have never tired of it. It’s perfect! No tweaking necessary.

Hey There!
i adore anything that resembles a cinnamon roll, so this cake is a total wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am recipe! If you get the chance, would you mind inviting me on Pinterest? It’s [email protected] Thanks!
LOVE! your blog, can’t wait to try this. I am going to be starting up my own food blog soon. I would love an invite to pinterest. . . [email protected]. Thanks!
Yummy! I just made cinnamon rolls yesterday – all that time and just me and Scott to eat them! Baby Crew took one look and decided he wouldn’t touch it. He’s smarter than the rest of us. Can’t wait to try this recipe. I was wandering around the grocery story realizing I had no idea what to cook because I hadn’t looked at your blog in a few days!
SInce Crew won’t eat them I guess that just means more for you and Scott! Hope you enjoy the cake! Headed to Utah tomorrow to return my girls to school. Sad for me 🙁
It’s a great recipe! Thanks for linking to my blog!
Oh my goodness. This looks SO good and super easy! And I must admit, I re-pin you quite frequently 🙂
Can you please send me an invite for Pinterest. I requested an invite 3 days ago and am still waiting. Thank you!!!
Gator Gal says Great! As my stomach turns with the anticipation of Tropical Storm Lee I am going to try these and with luck they will be ready before we lose power. I am going to try to incorporate sweet potatoes. The rolls I made now take forever so this may be anothet blessing!

Stay safe! An invite should be on it’s way

Would love an invite! Have been waiting for over a week! Addicted to the site!
Thank you! I have a potluck tomorrow and have been stewing over what to bring, this is it! I can’t wait to try it and am confident it will be as good as you say it is.
I swear I can smell this through the screen it looks SO GOOD….and it’s beautiful too!
I made your Cinnamon Roll Cake tonight. It was delicious!! I did have to bake about 45 minutes for it to get done. It was still a bit soft in the middle, but the outside was awesome!! Is there something I did wrong?
I did bake it in a glass dish, should I have baked longer??
Thanks for any help.
Don’t think you did anything wrong. People’s ovens cook differently and mine might cook hotter than yours. A cinnamon roll is suppose to be soft in the middle anyway!! Glad you enjoyed it! If it was too soft for you I would definitely cook it a bit longer.
My husband, who declares he’s not a dessert man, so there’s no point in making him anything, said tonight that if I’m going to change his mind about desserts, this is the one to lure him in with. It was amazing!
Yeah a dessert convert!!
Oh WOW that looks yummy!
