Cinnamon Bun Cake — Wann House

This cake channels all the cinnamon bun flavors in a delicious layer cake. The cream cheese frosting takes it over the top in the yum department. This cake is easy & always impressive.

Cinnamon Bun Cake

3/4 cup softened butter

1.5 cups sugar

5 eggs

1.5 cups plain greek yoghurt

2 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

4 tsp baking soda

1.5 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup heavy cream

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

4 sticks softened butter

2 blocks cream cheese

3-4 cups powdered sugar (depending how sweet you like it)

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 & grease 3 cake pans. In a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together until light & fluffy. Add in eggs, greek yoghurt & vanilla. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon & nutmeg. Rotate adding in the flour mixture & the heavy cream to the mixer until all combined. Pour into cake pans evenly (I like to use a measuring cup to ensure even distribution) & bake for 30 minutes.

Allow cakes to fully cool before frosting. Generally I leave them overnight to completely chill. To make the frosting, combine all ingredients together in a stand mixer & adjust to taste. I prefer a super cream cheesy frosting that is less sweet, but it can totally be adjusted to your preference.

Optional, mix powdered sugar & cinnamon together & dust the top for some extra oomph!
