Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cinnamon roll cake bars the best flavor and texture. Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are cold before you start baking.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and will help your cinnamon roll cake bars rise properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it is foamy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cinnamon roll cake bars tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the cinnamon roll cake bars cool completely before frosting them: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the bars.
  • Store the cinnamon roll cake bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon roll cake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover cinnamon rolls, or they can be made from scratch. With a few simple tips, you can make cinnamon roll cake bars that are moist, flavorful, and irresistible.
