Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake

Cinnamon rolls are always a hit in our house, especially with IT Guy, but I don't always have the time to make them. Well, this little dessert fills in just fine. Using a cake mix as a base, along with a few other add-ins, I'm pretty sure you'll love this yummy treat when you're looking for something sweet and easy.

Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake



1 yellow cake mix (plus the stuff to make it)
1 3-ounce box vanilla instant pudding
1 stick butter ~ melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cup powdered sugar ~ divided use
1/3 cup half & half OR heavy cream
1/4 cup half & half or heavy cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 15x10x1 inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

Make cake according to box directions, adding 1 box of vanilla instant pudding. 

Pour batter into prepared pan. 

Combine melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Drizzle over cake batter then swirl through with a knife. (Do not mix in.)

Bake cake about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool cake on wire rack for 10 minutes.

Combine 1 cup of the powdered sugar and the 1/3 cup half & half OR heavy cream and drizzle over warm cake. 

Allow cake to cool completely.

Combine remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons half & half or heavy cream and drizzle over cooled cake.

Cut into squares. 

Okay...let's go! Here's what you need.

Mix up the cake mix according 

to the package directions but add 

1 3-ounce box vanilla instant pudding.

Pour the batter into a greased RIMMED 

cookie sheet. Mine was 15x10x1 and it was perfect.

Mix together the melted butter, 

the brown sugar and the cinnamon.

Drizzle that all over the cake batter.

Then swirl the cinnamon mixture 

into the cake batter. Don't mix it in...

just swirl with a table knife.

Bake it up! Kind of looks like a 

pan of cinnamon rolls, doesn't it?

Mix together the 1 cup of powdered 

sugar and 1/3 cup of the half & half 

OR heavy cream..whichever you're using.

Drizzle that over the cake after it's cooled for 10 minutes.

See? All the glaze seeps 

down into the nooks and 

crannies of the cake. Then 

let the cake cool completely.

After the cake has cooled, mix 

together the remaining 1 cup of 

the powdered sugar and the 1/4 

cup half & half OR heavy cream.

Drizzle that over the cooled cake.

Cut into squares and enjoy!!
