Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake is ready to devour in just 30 minutes and will make your whole house smell like cinnamon rolls!
Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake has quickly become one of my kids’ favorite desserts. In fact, they want to eat this deliciously moist cake for every meal.
I’ve partnered up with Land O’Lakes again this month to share this perfectly sweet, perfectly gooey and perfectly delicious cake recipe with you. I figured what better way to jump into baking season than with this super quick and easy recipe?!
I know it’s a little hard to tell proportionally in this picture, but these little Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter in Half Sticks are so tiny and cute! They’re measured out to be exactly 1/4 cup, which is perfect for small batch baking!
Or… for mixing up a killer buttery, brown sugar and cinnamon swirl to top your sheet cake. 😉
This delicious cake literally comes together in minutes, and since you don’t have to let it cool before frosting, it’s the perfect last minute treat!
I’m not kidding when I say that my kids have asked to eat a slice of this cake at every meal. They think that since it’s “Cinnamon Roll” cake that it’s perfectly suitable for breakfast. Who am I to argue with this sound logic?
I mean, this cake definitely comes together a whole lot faster than my classic Cinnamon Rolls Recipe… sooo…
Once you drizzle the buttery brown sugar mixture over the cake, just swirl it into the cake with a butter knife and pop it in the oven.
Since this is a sheet cake, it bakes up super quick – just 20 to 25 minutes!
The brown sugar swirls create crevices of gooey, buttery goodness. Top the whole cake with a sweet icing and you’re done!
The cake is moist and tender with bits of cinnamon and sugar swirled throughout.
This is definitely a cake you do not want to miss.
What do you think? Would you eat a slice of this Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake for breakfast??

Wow! Who needs to go to Cinnabon anymore? This was the first IWUD recipe I tried. My family ate this up in one day. Came out perfectly!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This delicious cake is definitely a hit with everyone that I’ve made it for. (I have literally made 10 of them for many different occasions since finding this recipe in July!) The recipe is so easy and it feeds many-if they are willing to share LOL! Its now the new treat for my son and his college teammates for their away games. Thanks so much for sharing!

Aw! That’s awesome! I’m so glad you guys are enjoying the recipe!
What size was the box of cake mix. I have noticed that you always omit that in your recipes. Thanks.
You’ll use your basic 9×13″ cake mix size. It can vary from 15.25oz to 16.5oz. You should get the same results with either size.
I think this may work using mini bundy pans.
Any thoughts.
I think that would work just fine! I would just check them with a toothpick for doneness around 15 minutes.
Made this today with a 9×13 pan. Used yellow cake mix and added walnuts. Baked 350 for 30 mins.
It came out fantastic! What an easy recipe to whip up for anytime.
Love the addition of walnuts! Sounds fantastic!
I made this for my grandkids this past weekend and it was awesome! I used a 9×13 pan and baked for about 35 minutes.
Is there anyone who could help me how to make pudding mix? Its very hard to find it here…thanks
I made this tonight for the first time but it definitely won’t be my last. My whole family loved it and that hardly ever happens. Thanks for sharing with us.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it!
Wow your amazing!!
Hi. Should I add the Icing to the cake if I’m making it a day ahead of time?
The icing could go on the day you’re making it or when you’re going to serve it. Either one works fine.
How would i make this as a cupcakes?
I bet that would be fantastic! Just pour the batter in cupcake tin and swirl in a little bit of the cinnamon mixture before baking. Start at 350 degrees for 18 minutes and test for doneness!
How many calories is one serving?
Kris, I don’t understand the vanilla pudding mix. I expected it to be a dry mix, but it uses vanilla. How does that work? I do have vanilla powder.
Doug
The pudding will add to the cake body a bit denser. I use pudding mix in different recpes that use boxed cake mix.
You speak my language 🙂 Thank you !
Looks easy and ymmy for Fall dinners. Wonder if you’ve ever added chopped apple and rhubarb into the battter or thin slices of apple on the bottom of the sheet before pouring the cake batter in? Probably should cook the fruit a little first.
Have you frozen this?
I actually did freeze this cake! I’m saving some for the kids for when we have a sitter watching them while my husband and I go on our anniversary trip next month! Just let the cake cool completely before freezing!
Have you ever made this in a 13×9 pan?
I haven’t tried it in a 13×9 pan, but I’m sure it would work just fine. Just bake longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I would guess to start at 28 minutes and see where it’s at. 🙂
I have tried it in a 13×9 and it came out great!!! It’s now one of my favorite cakes to make now. Everyone who tried it loved it!!!
Fantastic! So glad you enjoyed it!
This looks deliscious! Im in Sweden and i dont think we have the instant vanilla pudding, anything else i can substitute it with ?
Have a great day! Liselotte
Liselotte,
I found this with Google:
Use this homemade vanilla pudding mix as a substitute for any Amish Friendship Bread recipe that calls for a box of instant pudding.
3 cups nonfat dry milk.
4 cups sugar.
½ teaspoon nutmeg.
1 teaspoon salt.
3 cups cornstarch.
5 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Thank you for your help on that Kris! 🙂
On that substitute vanilla pudding 3 cups corn starch seriously??
Of the homemade pudding mix, how much do you use to equal a small package of pudding?
Good question — maybe the equivalent amount of ounces in a small instant pudding box; but then again, you would need a kitchen scale for that.
“A simple conversion of dry ounces is as such; one dry ounce is equivalent to one-eighth of a cup. This is the equivalent of two tablespoons (and not just your usual dessert spoon but a proper measuring spoon) or 28.3 grams. If you lack a tablespoon or a simple digital scale but still want a very accurate measurement there is a simple calculation that can help you out. Simply take the number of dry ounces and multiply it by 0.125 and you will get its equivalent in cups. It is advisable to measure dry ounces using measuring cups which are specifically designed for this purpose. Once you have filled the top of the cup, you can sweep the top with a knife to allow you to get a more accurate measurement.” – http://www.howmanyouncesin.com/cup
