Cinnamon Roll Cake Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to allow even cooking and gooey texture.
- Place in Crockpot: Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces evenly inside the crockpot to form the base of the cake.
- Mix Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to create a sweet, cinnamon-infused sauce.
- Pour Butter Mixture: Evenly pour the cinnamon butter mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces get coated for maximum flavor.
- Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the top of the mixture to add richness and help create the gooey texture.
- Cook the Cake: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours, checking for a fully cooked, soft, and gooey texture inside.
- Cool Slightly: Once cooked, remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes to set slightly for easier serving.
- Prepare Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth to make a sweet glaze.
- Drizzle Glaze and Serve: Before serving, drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the warm cake. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon-laced dessert.
Notes
- For extra gooeyness, add an additional tablespoon of butter or drizzle caramel sauce over the cake before serving.
- Customize with add-ins like chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- This cake can be made ahead by assembling the ingredients in the crockpot insert and refrigerating overnight, then slow cooking the next day.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days; reheat gently in the crockpot or microwave.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
