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!
Leigh Anne says
Yeah a dessert convert!!
Sara says
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.
Leigh Anne says
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.

Jane Basinger says
