Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and place them in a large bowl.
Add the sugar and cinnamon and toss until the biscuit pieces are coated. Place the biscuit pieces in the prepared Bundt pan. Top the pieces with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, condensed milk, and brown sugar. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined and a smooth syrup forms.
Pour the syrup over the top of the biscuit pieces.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
Allow the pull apart cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate to finish cooling.
To make the glaze, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and mix until combined.
Add the milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing between each addition. Continue adding milk until the desired consistency is reached.
Spread the glaze over the top of the cake before serving.
How should I store my cinnamon roll pull apart cake?
The best way to enjoy this cake is when it has just come out of the oven with a nice cup of coffee. If you aren’t able to finish all of it, you can keep it on the plate that you serve it on and cover it with tin foil.
Do these freeze well?
While this cake is best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it in a pinch. If you will be freezing this recipe, make sure to store it in an airtight container before freezing.
Can this be prepped the night before and baked in the Morning?
Yes! If you are short on time or don’t want to get up early to make it, you can just prep it the night before and then bake it in the morning.
Can you use regular canned biscuits or the Pillsbury Grands?
You can use either the grands or regular biscuits. They will both work, but they may have a slightly different taste and texture.
