Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake


  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (or cream)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk for 2–3 minutes, until the batter is smooth and well combined.

3. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a thick paste.
  2. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  3. Dollop spoonfuls of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it gently into the batter.
  4. Pour the remaining cake batter on top and spread it evenly. Repeat the swirling process with any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture.

4. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the cake cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.

5. Make the Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk for desired consistency.

6. Glaze and Serve

  1. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  2. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts or a dusting of cinnamon for added flair.
  3. Slice the cake and serve warm or at room temperature.
  4. Enjoy every bite of this fluffy, swirly, and indulgent Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake!
  5. Perfect as a standalone treat or paired with a cup of coffee, tea, or cold milk for a complete dessert experience.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly ground cinnamon and high-quality vanilla extract make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Up the Swirl: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra depth.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Stir in raisins, chopped pecans, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave before serving.
