Sticky Bun Cake

As a lover of sweet breakfast dishes, I am always thrilled to find new and easy recipes for breakfast and brunch ideas. My boyfriend’s Mom makes a scrumptious Sticky Bun Cake that I look forward to every time I visit. The cake is made using plain frozen bread rolls that, when baked together, form a complete cake in the shape of a bundt pan. The fun begins the night before by preparing the frozen bread rolls and sweet topping in a bundt pan, and simply leaving the pan in a cold oven overnight. The next morning, you bake the cake for 20-25 minutes and enjoy the heavenly smell of brown sugar and cinnamon filling the house! The cake is then inverted onto a plate, so the hot topping spreads all around the top of the cake. Served hot out of the oven, the cake has a crunchy top and sides overflowing with syrupy sugar and cinnamon, and a moist and light inside.
