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.

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

Storage

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.
