There’s nothing better than the aroma of a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. Although baking them requires a lot of work so it might be pretty rare that you make them from scratch. Instead of making cinnamon rolls from scratch you could try making this easy dessert recipe for cinnamon roll coffee cake. It has all of the same flavours of cinnamon rolls but will require far less effort to bake. You probably already have all of the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe. Most coffee cakes are topped with a crumble topping, but instead, this one is topped with a cinnamon glaze which absorbs into the cake as it bakes. This is a treat that would be great to serve for breakfast or as a dessert treat.
A cinnamon roll is usually a sweet bread roll with a cinnamon and sugar spread on the inside with icing poured on top. They first became popular in Northern Europe and then in North America. In Denmark, it’s known as Vienna Bread called Kanelsnegl or cinnamon snail. The main ingredients include flour, cinnamon, sugar, and butter, with yeast as a rising agent sometimes it will even have a cream cheese icing on top.
