Step-by-Step Instructions

Expert Tip: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking, allowing the layers to settle and making it easier to slice cleanly.

Step 1: Cut up and place all the cinnamon rolls in the 9×13 casserole dish.

Step 2: Now you will take the frosting and if need be melt in microwave for 5-15 seconds. Then spread over the cinnamon rolls.

Step 3: Next sprinkle on chopped walnuts. Or skip if you don’t want nuts.

Step 4: Then you will add the first cake flour packet over the mixture.

Step 5: Slice the butter and place it evenly over the dump cake. This will help ensure the dry ingredients bake properly.

Step 6: Next, sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture from the cake mix. Place in a preheated oven and bake according to the directions.

Step 7: When done, drizzle with the frosting from the cinnamon rolls, if desired. Or discard the frosting and serve as is.

Step 8: Then dish up and serve this cinnamon dump cake.

Storage

You will want to store any leftovers of this dump cake in the fridge. Then slice and eat it cold, or warm it up in the microwave for a fresh, out-of-the-oven flavor.

Tips & Flavor Variations

Here are some tricks and tips for making this tik tok cinnamon roll dump cake recipe.

• Use flavored cinnamon rolls, like pumpkin, for a fall twist of flavor.
• Try swapping the walnuts for toasted pecans or adding a layer of apple pie filling for a fall twist that plays beautifully with the cinnamon roll base.
• Any canned cinnamon rolls work. I used Pillsbury’s Grand Cinnamon Rolls.
• Feel free to skip the walnuts if you prefer, or substitute them with pecans if you’d like.
• I do recommend using the Krusteez Cinnamon Swirl instead of other cakes. You could substitute a spice cake if you prefer, instead of the cinnamon swirl.
• The frosting on top is optional.
• Add a layer of apple pie filling for an extra layer of sweetness to the cinnamon roll bake.
