Cinnamon Bun Cake Recipe Using Cake Mix

Ingredients

This delicious cinnamon bun cake recipe is the perfect way to treat your family during the holidays or any special occasion. All you need is a box of cake mix, butter, sugar, cinnamon, and a little bit of patience to create a unique and tasty cake. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

1 box of white cake mix
2/3 cup of butter, melted
1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1 cup of water
3 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Add the water, eggs, and mix until combined. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. To create the cinnamon bun topping, melt 1/3 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a separate bowl, mix together 2/3 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Spread the melted butter over the top of the cooled cake, then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Once the topping is evenly spread, cut the cake into 12 even squares. Place the squares onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool before serving.
