Instructions

Can someone tell me why it took longer than 50 minutes to bake? I followed the recipe exactly!
Baking can be tricky! Maybe your oven runs a little cooler? Just a thought.
It tastes good but the glaze was too sweet. I might skip it next time. 🤷♂️
It was okay but seemed a bit dry. Maybe I baked it too long? Not sure if I’d try it again.
This cake is amazing! So fluffy and perfectly sweet. My family devoured it. 🥰
Wow! This is like a giant cinnamon roll!! Tastes soooo good!!!
OMG this is life-changing! I can’t stop eating it. Definitely recommend to my friends.
Disappointing. Too sweet for me. I thought it would be better. 😕
Followed the recipe but it didn’t rise like yours. What went wrong?
Not too good. It came out dry. Maybe I messed up, but I dont think I did.
Not a fan. It turned out too dry for my taste. Maybe too much flour?
Cinnamon + Sugar = I’m in love! Gonna make this for my husband’s birthday!
Honestly, this recipe seems complicated. I might just stick to regular cinnamon rolls. Too much work for me!
Complicated? Nah, it’s just a matter of following the steps. If you love cinnamon rolls, you’ll love this! Give it a shot, you might enjoy the baking process!
I get where you’re coming from! Cinnamon rolls are super comforting and sometimes keeping it simple is best. But this cake looks pretty yummy too! Maybe it’ll surprise you?
Ate it once, I guess it was fine. No big deal.
I think it’s more than just fine! The flavors are amazing, especially with the cinnamon. You should give it another try!
This cake is AMAZING! So fluffy and delicious. My family devoured it in one sitting!
Y’all, this is the best! Never thought I could bake something so delicious. Thanks for sharing.
real good recipe! I love bundt cakes. and cinnamon rolls 🙂
I couldn’t find ground cinnamon so I used nutmeg instead. Still turned out great somehow!
Really easy to follow, didn’t mess up! Check it out guys really!
This cake was a hit at my family gathering! Everyone loved the flavor and moistness. Will definitely make again!
I was skeptical at first, but the flavors are really good together! Will make again.
I forgot the cinnamon! 🤦♂️ Still turned out okay, but I bet it’s better with it.
Cinnamon rolls are supposed to be rolls. Not cake! Just saying. 🍩
I have no idea what I did wrong, but mine fell apart. The flavor was decent though.
Yum! <3 The glaze is the best part by far.
Totally agree! The glaze really takes it to the next level. Can’t wait to make it again!
I thought it would be too sweet, but it was just right! The cinnamon swirl was the best part.
I added chocolate chips and it was divine. Highly suggest! 🍫
This cake is amazing! So soft and fluffy, absolutely delicious!
Yum! Simple and quick! i did mine in a regular pan because I don’t have a bundt pan. Still looked good!
Wish it was easier. I’m not great with baking, but I’ll try again!
cake too sweet!!! I prefer my cakes with less sugar. could use som fruit!
Just made it and my family loved it! So much flavor. 10/10!
This cake is like a cinnamon roll and a cake had a baby! Love it!
Baking powder or baking soda? Didn’t know there’s a difference!
Yeah, baking powder is used for leavening while baking soda is more basic. It’s good to know the difference though! Makes a huge difference in baking.
Is it really that big of a deal? Can’t I just use one instead of the other?
It was too sweet for my taste. I think less sugar would be better.
