Cinnamon Roll Cake update...

I made this cake last night. It was posted by Lucinda

I used only 3/4 c sugar in the batter and one stick of melted butter in the topping like the blogger suggested. I left the batter in the mixing bowl while I mixed the topping and at that point it felt like cake batter. I guess the butter for the topping hadn't really softened that well because the topping mixture was hard to blend.

When I poured the batter in the baking dish, it had thickened up and seemed more like cinnamon roll dough. I dropped blobs of the topping over the batter and didn't bother to swirl.

The smell while baking will kill you. This was after the smell of the lasagna baking....mmmmm....

I made half the glaze since I figured the cake was sweet enough and I think it was plenty.

The cake rose really high and even without swirling, the topping made it look like cinnamon rolls when it came out. Eating those buttery gooey cinnamon parts was worth every calorie!

For me, this was far easier than making cinnamon rolls and it would be so easy to take to a brunch or as a gift.

Thanks, Lucinda!

1. Thanks so much for letting us know how it turned out

And how you tweaked the recipe!
I haven't made this yet, but will probably cut back the sugar too. Thanks again for the results post!
