Cinnamon Roll Layer Cake
Everything you love about a cinnamon roll, but in layer cake form.
Four layers of soft, brown sugar and cinnamon sponge, filled with a rich, buttery cinnamon caramel that tastes just like the gooey centre of a freshly baked cinnamon roll.
Each layer is filled with generous swirls of that caramel, before being wrapped in a silky, tangy cream cheese frosting.
Warm cinnamon, deep brown sugar, buttery caramel… all wrapped up in the softest sponge and the smoothest frosting.
You won't need any eggs or any dairy, and the best part is it's are super simple to make!
