Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake Recipe
Grab a cup of coffee and friend to share this amazing and delicious Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake with! This #Recipe is a keeper!
Pound Cake goes with a cup of coffee, like bread goes with butter. I have to stop myself occasionally from whipping up a cake just because. If it is on my cake plate, then I need a cup of coffee. If I have a cup of coffee, then I must have a piece of cake to go with it. Then, when the cake is gone, I feel like I should make another one to put on the cake plate. I mean, it just looks so sad and empty sitting there cakeless.
A plain pound cake is a simple and delicious dessert. Now add 2 more easy steps and you have this STELLAR Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake. My house smells like a Cinnabon right now. It is such an amazing twist on a classic for the holiday season!
I whipped up my regular pound cake recipe. After greasing and flouring the pan, I put 1/3 of the batter in the pan, and then sprinkled it with Cinnamon Sugar. I then did another layer of batter and cinnamon sugar, and a final layer of batter. For those that are keeping track it goes like this.

- Cinnamon Sugar

It is like a Double cinnamon sugar sandwich. Yum! This make 2 loaf pan size cake by the way. Which is trouble. I always give one to a neighbor, or pop one in the freezer.
You end up with these delicious, perfectly crusty pound cakes! But wait….there is more.
After it cools for a bit. Top your cake with this amazing cream cheese icing. It is Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake after all. The hardest part….letting it cool and set up before you cut into it.
Your patience will pay off ten fold when you take a bite of this heavenly cake.
