Do you remember eating cinnamon toast crunch as a kid? I definitely do – I even buy it for my kids occasionally! There’s something special about serving a homemade cake, so when I found the opportunity to make a dessert with the same cinnamon toast flavor, I literally couldn’t resist!
This recipe comes from my amazing friend Mary’s new cookbook The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook. Mary blogs over at Barefeet In The Kitchen and creates easy family friendly recipes from scratch (and has tons of gluten free options)! Her book contains so many awesome delicious meals and sides, all containing simple from scratch ingredients you know and love! Not only that, the recipes aren’t fussy and there is a WHOLE section on 15-25 minute meals! I love that I can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes on a busy soccer night!
Just like the rest of the recipes in this book, you likely have all of the ingredients for this recipe on hand already! Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe deter you, this cake will definitely become a family favorite and tastes absolutely amazing! It’s soft and buttery with a crunchy streusel topping that’s totally irresistible.
Be sure to grease the pan well and especially the corners. This ensures your cake comes out easily and none of that delicious topping is stuck to the sides! Oh, one more thing about the corners of this cake (Mary gave me this little tip)… the corners of the cake are definitely the very best part. You’re going to want to snag those up and hide them to keep all to yourself (I won’t tell anyone if you don’t)! The corners seem to be where the most delicious crunchy cinnamon streusel lands! Dessert is just something special to end a great family meal and I’ve never been one to pass up homemade cinnamon rolls so I knew this would be a welcome addition to our dessert rotation… and I was right! Don’t forget to top your slice with a scoop of ice cream – my husband actually loves this in a bowl with a little splash of heavy cream drizzled on top!
