cinnamon roll cake

01 March 2012

This is a favorite…I made this last night for a scout court of honor and finally took some pics. I have the best intentions of posting more recipes, but then I forget to take pictures.

I got this recipe from my friend, Buffy Madsen when we were first married and living in Logan, Utah.  I’ve seen another on pinterest, but this version has 1/2 cup less butter (we still thinks it’s delish..it already uses 1 cup!) and we make it in a cookie sheet/jelly roll pan to make it stretch further. The printable link is here..let’s hope it works?

  2. Yum!  This looks so good and sounds super simple.  Will be filing this away for the next  time I need to take something in for Bible Study fellowship!

  3. I remember Buffy! This looks delish--can you please tell me why you have never made this for me? I will try not to feel bad and make it myself. Too bad my kids are on a no sugar diet--it's making my life miserable-I  guess I will have to eat the whole thing--can you just see the pounds shedding for me?!:) Wish I had more will power. I am so thrilled with your success tho! LOVES

    I have just been making heart shaped cinnamon rolls (see http://www.finecraftguild.com/valentines-heart-cakes/ ), but yours is a different take on it. I got to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing it. Since it's a cake, I think it will be lighter.

  7. I made this cake 3 times last month! I got the recipe a few years back from a church(Relief Society) meeting. It is one of our favorites and my go-to recipe if I am asked to bring a dessert to any function. Love the idea of putting it in a cookie sheet to stretch the servings. Brilliant!

    15-20 minutes, my oven tends to cook hot. It's in a sheet pan, so it cooks more quickly.
