I got this idea when I spotted a cinnamon filling in the King Arthur Flour catalog. I’m not a culinary baker, but I’ll bet you can come up with your own cinnamon filling ;-)

Cinnamon Roll cake

Ingredients

  • Cake:
    1 vanilla cake mix (I used BC)
    1 pkg cheesecake pudding mix
    1 c flour
    1 c powdered sugar
    1/2 t salt
    2/3 c Coffee Mate cinnamon bun coffee creamer (or vanilla)2/3 c water
    4 egg whites
    2 T oil
    2 t vanilla extract or 1 dram of LoRann cheesecake flavoring
    1 c mini-cinnamon chips ( KingArthurFlour.com )

    Filling:
    1 1/2 c Baker’s Cinnamon Filling ( KingArthurFlour.com )

    Combine everything (except the filling ingredients

Instructions

    (I apologize for not being very detailed!)

  2. Combine cake ingredients; stir in cinnamon chips.
  3. Mix filling with 1/4 c + 2 T water and spoon in to a piping bag.
  5. Spread a little batter on bottom of pan; squeeze filling over batter in rings (like a target). Spread more batter over filling.
  7. For torting, I recommend filling the pans less than 1/2 full so that you have 1″ cakes. That way the filling stays intact as opposed to slicing a 2″ cake in half.
