    Is there any better aroma than something baking in the oven with cinnamon. At our house as a child it was the smell of Mom's Cinnamon Rolls; we could smell them baking a block from our house while we ran home from school. Cinnamon is my all time favourite spice to use in decadent desserts to warm ciders on a cold winter night.

    What I love about this Cinnamon Roll Swirl Cake recipe it is so simple to make, yet so incredibly tasty. You get the great Cinnamon Bun flavour without spending all day making it. Another awesome thing about this recipe is that it consists of ingredients most of us have readily available in the house!

    I made my cake in a 9x13 baking pan, but I think next time I try this recipe I will use a bundt pan for a more elegant presentation. Baking time will be slightly longer.

      I think this tastes EXACTLY like cinnamon rolls, minus all the time and effort. I think it's all the butter that saves it from being too sweet. Had a mad craving for a cinnamon roll so glad I found this recipe. Thanks so much!

      This sounds so good. What if I wanted to add some raisins? Like a raisin cinnamon roll? Any ideas? Thanks so much in advance. Your cake is simply beautiful!!!

        Susan, I think raisins would taste great in this cake. I'm guessing about 1 cup.

      The First time I made this - I went by the Recipe. The Second Time - I Doubled the Powder Sugar and Glaze Recipe. We liked it better with More Glaze. It is FANTASTIC !

      Hi! I was wondering if you can use a Bundt pan for this or does it have to be a 8 by 8 pan?

        Kayla the recipe is for a 9x13 pan which should work well in a bundt pan but may require longer baking.

      Hi, the mixture seemed to rise too much during baking and became a dome shape. there were also few pockets with the cinnamon topping overflowing. any idea why it turned out this way? the cake was still nice and yummy though.

        Hi Violet, I'm not quite sure, I have never had this happen. Possibly you over-mixed the batter.
