When I was little, there was a little diner in our small town that served the largest cinnamon rolls warmed and with a big pat of butter on top. It was a luxury to go there which means we went about once a year. However, that diner’s cinnamon rolls laid the foundation for my passion of warm, soft, buttery, cinnamon baked goods that are covered in cream cheese frosting! After we moved away, my mom began making cinnamon rolls that were exceptional and even more delicious.
I carried on the tradition of making homemade cinnamon rolls, but my heart was shining when I found this recipe – it has every component of the perfect cinnamon roll but is not as finicky to prepare (cinnamon rolls are a bit labor-intensive).
I make this cake two at a time and freeze one. It is perfect for weekend breakfasts or brunches, with a cup of tea in the afternoon, or in the evening to satisfy a sweet tooth. During the holidays, I always have one available. My favorite breakfast is a piece of this cinnamon roll cake, a fried egg, and bacon. My family thinks this is a strange combination but for me, it is the perfect combination. It makes me happy! Don’t forget to put a pat of butter on top of a warm piece; it is divine.
This is not a difficult recipe, and it takes little time to prepare so you need to try it. You will be happy that you did!
Enjoy!
