Cinnamon Bun Cake
For another great cake to try, this Rolo Poke Cake or this Pumpkin Bundt Cake. They are heaven in every bite!
While I love them, I don’t make cinnamon buns {from scratch} very often.
They don’t take a lot of time to make, yet I seem to have very little time for baking these days, so bring on the easy recipes!
For instance, I’d be most likely to make my Cinnamon Bun Monkey Bread. I love that I can get the same taste, a whole lot easier.
Same with our Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake, a fraction of the work but with amazing taste.
This recipe is also a great example of a shortcut without sacrificing on taste!

“wow, that was so simple” is what you’ll say when you try this Cinnamon Bun Cake. It’s a recipe given to me by a Mom in my daughters’ class.
All the same delicious Cinnamon Bun taste, yet instead with a ‘mix and bake’ recipe.
Given that, it’s much easier and faster to make than traditional cinnamon buns.
I just love this recipe!

And yes, this recipe does call for a lot of butter. Maybe you can just close your eyes while adding it until well mixed.
This dessert recipe is totally worth all that butter – trust me. 😉

This recipe is so unbelievably delicious, you just have to give it a try. I think you’ll want to make it time and again.

You’re very welcome, I know you’ll enjoy this mouthwatering cake recipe!
