Here's how to make a giant cinnamon roll like a cake instead of the classic cinnamon rolls. The recipe is surprisingly simple and easy, resulting in a soft buttery slice loaded with cinnamon sugar and cream cheese.
Prepare the Dough: Warm milk, mix with yeast, sugar (or honey), butter, and eggs. Combine with flour and salt, knead until soft, elastic, and slightly sticky. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 45–60 minutes).
240 ml Warm milk, 60 g Butter, 9 g Instant dry yeast, 15 g Sugar, 100 g Eggs, 500 g Bread flour, 9 g Salt
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Filling - Mix softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until combined.
6 tbsp Butter, 80 g Brown sugar, 50 g White sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
Assemble the Roll - Roll dough into a large rectangle (about 14 x 18 inches). Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly to the edges. Slice into long 1.5-inch strips. Roll the first strip into a spiral, then continue adding strips around it to form a giant roll.
Proof and Bake - Place in an 8-inch greased springform pan or cake ring. Cover and let rise until puffy (about 30–45 minutes). Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 40–45 minutes, tent with foil if browning too quickly.
Frost and Serve - Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm roll or wait until it cools for a cleaner finish. Slice and enjoy!
