Cinnamon rolls are a true American classic. Soft and sweet with that ooey-gooey cinnamon goodness! However, there are a LOT of steps to follow... And all of that rolling...

Not to mention, making the dough from scratch requires yeast and rising and proofing....

What if we could have all of the cinnamon roll flavors, but with a lot less of the work?!?

I mean...that sounds like a winner to me!!! These mini cinnamon roll pound cakes are moist and tender! Plus, they are sweetly satisfying with only a little brown sugar and maple syrup!

Mini pound cakes have become my favorite to make! Cute, individual portions. Plus, the baking time is drastically reduced! Mini loaf pans cost about $15- but, I bet you will fall in love with mini cakes too!

All the flavor of a gooey, warm cinnamon roll with less time and effort! Yes, please!

No rolling pin required.

History of Pound Cake

Pound cake dates back to England in the 1700s. Large and dense, it could easily feed a crowd. The original recipe featured 1 pound each of 4 ingredients- butter, eggs, flour, and sugar. No recipe card needed. The proportions may have changed over time...but the name has remained the same.

Does gluten free flour work in cakes?

Today, there are many different gluten free flours that are readily available. In general, using a blend of gluten free flour will work best. Buy a pre-mixed variety or blend your own. When making a cake, try to use some tapioca starch, as this will increase the softness and absorbency of the flour, which ultimately leads to a lighter cake.
