Frosted Cinnamon Roll Cake

My Granny makes the best cinnamon rolls in the whole world. True story!

However, I only get to enjoy them every now and then because we live so far away. And while I can get the recipe easily enough, my Granny’s cinnamon rolls are a true labor of love. Everything has to beย just right or they don’t turn out! My Granny always makes them perfectly…

Me…not so much…

SO…this cinnamon roll cake is the next best thing! I love it because it doesn’t try to compete with a classic cinnamon roll, but rather puts its own spin on things.

Plus it is absolutely covered in thick, rich frosting – the best part right??

Make a batch for your next special event or you can freeze them so they’ll be ready to enjoy anytime!

TIP: These cinnamon roll bars also freeze well! I keep mine on the parchment paper (pre sliced) and put a piece on top and slide it into a bag and vacuum seal it. Then we just defrost and heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. YUM!

Instructions

To Make the Cinnamon Roll Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350ยฐF.  Line an 9 x 13" sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Cream sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl until light and airy.
  • Add sour cream and milk to bowl and mix until incorporated.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and mix.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
  • Add dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
  • To make the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix well. Set aside.
  • Spread cinnamon roll cake batter into your prepared sheet pan. Cover with filling and spread gently to coat evenly.
  • Bake for 23-25 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool.

To make the Icing:

  • In a medium saucepan, add the butter, granulated sugar, whipping cream, vanilla and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes and allow it to thicken slightly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese.
  • Return to burner and stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted.
  • Remove from heat and add 3 cups powdered sugar (I do the last cup slowly to make sure I get the right consistency) stirring until well combined.
  • Allow icing to cool slightly, then pour over the cinnamon rolls.
  • Once icing sets, cut into squares and serve.
