I’m at all times attempting to make up new excuses to eat cake for breakfast. This Cinnamon Roll Bundt Cake is among the greatest excuses I can consider. It has a moist pound cake-like crumb with two batters layered to create a cinnamon swirl inside. My favourite cinnamon roll topping is fluffy cream cheese frosting. So I used it as a cake topping, together with some crunchy toasted pecans.

I developed this recipe two years in the past, and examined it a number of occasions. Then I examined it on members of the family at a Christmas occasion with rave opinions. After that – and for some unknown cause – I folded the sheet of recipe notes and used it as a bookmark for a e-book I used to be studying! I don’t know what was improper with me, apart from being unorganized. However, there it stayed till lately, once I reopened that e-book. I’m so joyful to have discovered it, so I can lastly share it right here!

As I discussed earlier, this cake has a decent however moist crumb, very like pound cake. It’s actually nice with a cup of robust espresso. I feel I’ll add this to my Mom’s Day brunch menu this yr!

Begin with Reverse Creaming

It’s possible you’ll bear in mind the reverse creaming method from my earlier Costco Copycat Sheet Cake recipe. First, you’ll add all of the dry components to the bowl of an electrical mixer and whisk them collectively. Then you definately’ll add room temperature butter and beat it within the dry combination till it has the feel of superb cornmeal. Reverse creaming works particularly properly for bundt desserts, as a result of the batter doesn’t dome because it bakes. So there’s nothing to trim away or degree.

Combine within the moist components, which incorporates eggs, milk, vanilla, and just a little bitter cream, to create a fluffy batter.

Make the Cinnamon Swirl Batter

Take away 2 1/2 cups of the cake batter to a medium bowl. Add in some brown sugar, floor cinnamon, all-purpose flour, and milk. Fold the components along with a rubber spatula. Or use a hand mixer to mix all the pieces properly (as seen within the video). I’ve used each strategies and each yield comparable outcomes.

Layer the Batters.

Start by including rather less than 1/3 of the plain cake batter to a greased bundt pan. (12 cup capacity, I used a Nordic Ware pan.) Unfold evenly utilizing a rubber spatula. Prime with half of the cinnamon batter and unfold as evenly as potential (the video might show you how to with visuals right here). Subsequent, add one other 1/3 of the plain batter and unfold evenly, adopted by the remainder of the cinnamon batter. Final, add the remaining plain batter and clean the highest. That’s a variety of layering! However properly definitely worth the effort.

Bake the Bundt

Place the pan in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for about 55 minutes. Because the cake bakes, the batter closest to the bundt pan’s partitions will cook dinner first, making a swirl inside. When the cake checks completed with a toothpick tester, take it out of the oven and let it cool 5 minutes within the pan.

End up on a wire rack. Then cool the cake utterly earlier than masking it in that luscious cream cheese frosting.

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

I’ll say it once more – cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting is my favourite! So after all, the identical frosting was destined for this cake. This isn’t a glaze – it’s thick and fluffy. So swirl it on prime of the cake with the again of a spoon.

Chopped pecans present scrumptious crunch to this cake. Sprinkle on about 1/2 cup. And undoubtedly toast them beforehand! Simply 5-7 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven will do it.

This cake is so enjoyable to slice – much more enjoyable to eat! It retains properly within the fridge, however carry it to room temperature earlier than having fun with it for the perfect taste and texture.
