Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake
Description
The Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake blends classic pound cake elements—softened butter, sugar, eggs, and flour—with Greek yogurt to maintain moisture and tenderness. The batter is divided and alternated with cinnamon sugar between layers in a loaf pan, creating visible swirls after baking. The cinnamon sugar includes granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon, providing warm spice notes distributed throughout the bread.
Once baked, the cake is cooled completely before adding a cinnamon-spiced icing made from powdered sugar and milk, enhancing both sweetness and cinnamon aroma. The texture is expected to be dense yet tender, resembling a rich pound cake but with the characteristic cinnamon roll flavors.
The cake slices well as a treat for breakfast, dessert, or snack. It offers a convenient alternative to shaped cinnamon rolls without requiring yeast or dough rising. The loaf can be stored or shared easily.

Instructions

- Add the rest of the batter.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until your tester comes out clean.

- Cut a tiny bit off the edge and pipe a zig zag line on the top of the cake.
