Gooey pumpkin spice cinnamon filling is swirled into a moist pumpkin cake and topped with vanilla glaze for an easy and delicious Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll Cake.

Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll Cake

PUMPKIN CINNAMON ROLL CAKE:

This cake was incredibly easy to make, and I didn’t need to use my stand mixer at all. I used a hand mixer, but you could even use a spoon or spatula if desired. The pumpkin spice cinnamon roll cake is great for dessert, but we even had it for breakfast one morning too. It is the perfect Fall treat, and easy enough to make if you need a last minute dessert for a gathering.

This cake would be a great treat for any Fall party, including Halloween and Thanksgiving. I love having a combination of traditional and new desserts for our Thanksgiving feast. In addition to pumpkin and apple pies, a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake and Pumpkin Tart, will probably be on our dessert table this year! Enjoy these desserts with my favorite Autumn adult beverages: Pumpkin Pie Moscow Mules and Pumpkin Pie Bourbon Cocktails.

CINNAMON FILLING:

The gooey cinnamon roll filling definitely takes this cake to the next level. I added pumpkin pie spice into the cinnamon filling for an extra kick of flavor. If you’re not as big a fan of pumpkin spice, you can use cinnamon only for the filling. Make sure you swirl the filling enough – don’t let it sit all at the top, or you’ll create big crevices. For a darker, richer flavor, you can also use Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar instead of light brown sugar for the filling.

VANILLA GLAZE:

The original recipe from Creations by Kara used only milk and powdered sugar. I adapted it by using half & half and added vanilla extract. The glaze was a bit thicker because of the half & half, which I wanted. I didn’t want it to become too runny. Don’t put the glaze on right out of the oven. Let the cake cool a bit, then pour or pipe the glaze on when it is slightly warm.

I found the cake is best when served warm. If you make it ahead of time, I recommend reheating it in either the microwave or oven, then adding the glaze like stated above.

TOOLS, TIPS & TRICKS FOR PUMPKIN CINNAMON ROLL CAKE:

  • You can find my favorite whisks and spatulas in my Amazon shop
  • I used a pastry blender to mix the cinnamon filling, but you can use a spatula or two knives.
  • Make sure the butter for your filling is softened, but not room temperature.
  • If making the cake ahead, re-warm and put the glaze on right before serving
