Description

A quick and easy dessert combining soft cinnamon roll pieces with buttery cake mix, baked to golden perfection and finished with a sweet icing drizzle for an irresistible treat.


Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dessert.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and place them evenly in a greased baking dish to form the base layer.
  3. Layer Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Then, sprinkle the teaspoon of cinnamon on top to add extra warmth and flavor.
  4. Add Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the entire mixture to moisten the cake mix and help it bake into a cohesive, crumbly topping.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and set.
  6. Drizzle Icing: Once out of the oven, use the icing from the cinnamon roll cans to drizzle over the warm dump cake, adding a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • You can substitute yellow cake mix with white or spice cake mix for different flavor variations.
  • Ensure the butter is fully melted for even distribution over the dry cake mix.
  • The dessert is best served warm, but leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
  • Use a greased 9×13 inch baking dish for optimal fit and even baking.
  • Adding a handful of chopped nuts or raisins between layers can add texture and extra flavor.
