Description
A quick and easy dessert combining the gooey sweetness of cinnamon rolls with the crumbly texture of cake mix, baked together and finished with a delicious icing drizzle for a crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you start baking.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each refrigerated cinnamon roll into quarters and spread them evenly in a greased baking dish. This creates a base layer of soft, sweet cinnamon roll bites.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the cinnamon rolls, then dust the cinnamon on top for an extra warm spice flavor.
- Pour Butter: Drizzle the melted butter uniformly over the cake mix and cinnamon layers. This helps the cake mix crisp up and meld together during baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are golden and the top is bubbly and cooked through.
- Drizzle Icing: Once baked, take the cake out of the oven and drizzle the cinnamon rolls’ icing over the top while still warm to add sweetness and a glossy finish.
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts between layers for extra crunch.
- Use cream cheese frosting instead of the original icing for a tangy twist.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of cake mix slightly.
- Make sure the butter is evenly distributed to avoid dry spots.
- This dessert is best served warm, either by itself or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
