Cinnamon Roll Skillet Cake Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Cake

  • 2 packages of buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Frosting

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla extract, depending on your taste preference
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

Cinnamon Roll Skillet Cake Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. If you don’t have a pre-seasoned skillet, rub about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil on the bottom of the skillet, and set aside.

2. Remove the biscuits from the packages. Using a rolling pin, roll each of the biscuits very flat and thin.

3. Combine the cinnamon and sugar. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter and shake off the excess. Then, dip the biscuit in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure to cover both sides. Shake off the excess.

4. Roll up each biscuit. And place the rolled-up biscuit on the outside of a skillet in a circle fashion, spiraling towards the inside of the skillet.

5. Bake for 18-20 minutes. If the outside is cooking faster than the inside, tent the outer edges with foil.

6. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by beating together the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the milk or heavy cream, until desired consistency is reached.

7. Remove the cake, and let cool for about 5-7 minutes before frosting.

8. Pipe the frosting over the top of the cake, and cut into slices to serve.
