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!

Thanks for this recipe! My daughter was just requesting cinnamon buns this morning. Think I will make this instead.
looks delicious!
That looks so good.
I’m going to make this on the weekend when I have people to share with. Every time I tweet recipe my tummy rumbles lol.
Yum! Looks so much easier then making cinnamon rolls or buns … I’ll be making these for my crew! for sure! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Made it.
Learned I should never bake when I’m stressed and distracted.
I forgot the vanilla. But it still tastes decent…I just know it would have been even better with it.
Tammi, I made this yesterday and my boys think I’m a genius. They’ve requested this become part of the regular repertoire, and I believe it will. I had a piece with my coffee this morning, and it is a scrumptious way to start the day.
Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
Awesome!!!

Oh yum! I pinned it for later use. Thanks!
