Diva's Little Extras
Pecan Praline Topping
Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans mixed with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon melted butter over the batter before baking for a sweet, crunchy praline topping.
Cream Cheese Icing:
Replace the icing from the cinnamon rolls with a homemade cream cheese icing.
Beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cake after baking.
Apple Cinnamon Roll Dump Cake:
Add 1 cup of diced apples to the cinnamon roll pieces for an apple-cinnamon variation. This will give the cake a fruity twist that complements the cinnamon flavor.
