Ingredients

Pumpkin Cake:

  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 1 can pumpkin (15 oz. can pumpkin puree)
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (yellow or butter golden)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Cinnamon Roll Swirl Filling:

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Cinnamon Roll Icing:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons milk (ideally whole milk) or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

To Make The Pumpkin Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking pan lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, canned pumpkin, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
  • Mix well until combined. Add cake mix (the dry mix) and baking soda. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Pour pumpkin cake batter into prepared 9x13 pan, spreading evenly to corners.

Cinnamon Roll Swirl Filling:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine softened (or melted and slightly cooled) butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir to combine. If very thick, you can microwave for just a few seconds to soften. Scoop cinnamon roll filling by the spoonful evenly over the pumpkin cake batter. Use a knife to swirl it throughout, evenly.
  • Bake cake for 25-30 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean).

Cinnamon Roll Icing:

  • To make glaze, combine ingredients and stir with a whisk until combined. Spread or drizzle the icing over cake. If icing is too runny, add more powdered sugar. If icing is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of additional milk.
