Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

Coffee cake made with a cinnamon roll dough as its crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour + 2 tablespoons, divided
  • 1 can (8 count) Cinnamon Rolls, with icing
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a round pan with cooking spray, you can use a pie plate if you would like.
  2. Stir together sugar, oil, egg and milk in a large bowl. Add baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 cups flour, and stir until no lumps remain. Set aside.
  3. Open can of cinnamon rolls and separate. One at a time, press the cinnamon roll between the palms of your hands to flatten. Press each into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form the crust, pinching to seal any gaps between the rolls.
  4. Pour the coffee cake mixture over the cinnamon roll crust.
  5. In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter. Stir and sprinkle over the top of the coffee cake.
  6. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out just shy of clean. (I would go with less than 30 minutes because I wanted my cinnamon roll cake to still be somewhat soft inside) While warm, top with icing that came with the cinnamon rolls.
  7. Serve warm.
