    Ingredients

    This recipe only needs one ingredient - prepackaged cinnamon rolls. You need the following:

    • 2 cans jumbo sized cinnamon rolls
    • 1 can regular sized cinnamon rolls

    That's it!

    Instructions

    greased Bundt cake pan

    Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt cake pan.

    Place the regular sized cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the Bundt cake pan. Place the jumbo sized rolls around the outer and inner edges of the pan.

    baked cake in Bundt pan

    Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 30 - 40 minutes. Place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, flip cake over and let cool for 1 hour with the pan still on the cake. Lift off the Bundt cake pan. Drizzle with the icing included in the cinnamon roll packages.

    Variations

    Looking for something with a little Autumn flair? Several companies offer prepackaged pumpkin cinnamon rolls. Try the pumpkin flavor and you will have a quick and tasty dessert for Thanksgiving and other gatherings.

    Equipment

    Use a 12-cup Bundt cake pan for this recipe. Choose a pan which is not highly intricate in it's design - this makes for easier removal of the cake. The following pan is ideal for this recipe:

    An instant read thermometer is a handy item to check the doneness of the cake (180 degrees F).

    Storage

    Store the cinnamon roll Bundt cake at room temperature for up to 3 days. Place in an airtight container or wrap well with foil.

    Top tip

    Take care to not overbake the cake else you may end up with a dry cake. Cinnamon rolls should be soft and fluffy after baking. To prevent overbaking, insert a thermometer into the center of the cake after 30 minutes of baking. The cake is done when the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

    FAQ

    Can I freeze the cake?

    Yes, wrap the cake in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To defrost, remove from freezer and leave at room temperature for 2 hours.

    How do I prepare a Bundt cake pan for baking?

    Spray the pan well with a quality baking spray and remove any excess spray that may accumulate in the bottom of the pan. Alternatively, make your own 'cake release' by combining ¼ cup flour, ¼ cup of vegetable shortening and ¼ cup of vegetable oil in a bowl. Next, mix these ingredients until well combined. Finally, using a pastry brush apply the cake release generously to the Bundt cake pan. Store leftover cake release at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
