Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"><li class="equipment-single-item">33x23cm (13x9-inch) baking pan</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Stand mixer or electric hand mixer</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Offset spatula</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Parchment paper</li></ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your 33x23cm baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This preparation step ensures your cake won't stick and will lift out beautifully.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This even distribution of leavening agents will ensure your cake rises uniformly throughout.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Make the cinnamon swirl mixture by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter in a small bowl until it resembles wet sand. The flour in this mixture helps prevent the cinnamon sugar from simply melting into the cake batter - it creates that distinct swirl effect.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for a full 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. This extended creaming incorporates air into the butter, creating the foundation for a tender, light cake structure.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract. Don't rush this step - proper incorporation of each egg provides structure and richness to your cake.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour (flour-buttermilk-flour-buttermilk-flour). Mix on low speed just until combined after each addition. This alternating method prevents overmixing and keeps your cake tender.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter. Top with remaining batter, carefully spreading it to cover the cinnamon layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture on top.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Take a butter knife or skewer and gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect. Don't over-swirl - just 4-5 passes through the batter in a figure-eight pattern will create beautiful ribbons of cinnamon throughout your cake.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The cake will be golden brown on top and should spring back lightly when touched. Be careful not to overbake, as this will result in a dry cake.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting. This cooling period is essential - frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and slide off.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 11</h4>For the cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. The temperature of these ingredients is crucial - they should be softened but still cool to the touch for the perfect frosting consistency.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 12</h4>Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, beating on low speed until combined, then on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Sifting the powdered sugar prevents any lumps in your finished frosting.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 13</h4>Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top using an offset spatula. For a classic cinnamon roll look, create gentle swirls in the frosting rather than smoothing it completely flat.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 14</h4>For the perfect slice, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts. Store any leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, bringing to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.</li></ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake Recipe?

This recipe uses all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. The ingredients create the perfect balance of tender cake with cinnamon swirls and tangy frosting.

How to cook Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake Recipe at home?

Learn how to cook Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake Recipe by first making a vanilla cake batter, creating a cinnamon-sugar mixture for swirling, and preparing cream cheese frosting. Layer the components in a sheet pan, swirl with a knife, then bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes until golden. Once cooled, top with cream cheese frosting for that classic cinnamon roll flavour in cake form.

Can I make this cinnamon cake ahead of time for a party?

Absolutely! You can bake this sheet cake 1-2 days in advance and store it covered at room temperature. For best results, add the cream cheese frosting the day of serving or store frosted cake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavours actually develop nicely after a day.

Why does my cinnamon swirl sink to the bottom of the cake?

A sinking cinnamon swirl typically happens when the mixture is too heavy. Adding flour to your cinnamon-sugar mixture (as this recipe does) helps prevent sinking. Also, ensure your cake batter has proper consistency and avoid overmixing after adding the swirl components.

What's the best way to achieve perfect cream cheese frosting for my cake?

For perfect cream cheese frosting, ensure ingredients are softened but still cool. Beat cream cheese and butter together first until completely smooth before adding sifted powdered sugar gradually. Avoid overbeating which can make it runny, and chill briefly if too soft for spreading.
