- oil
- eggs
- instant vanilla pudding
- salted butter
- light brown sugar

- water
HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY CINNAMON ROLL BREAD:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray the bottoms of (two) 8×4-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl mix together the cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs and oil. Stir until combined well.
Pour half the bread batter into each prepared loaf pan (a quarter of the batter in each loaf pan). In a smaller bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until combined well. Spoon half the cinnamon butter mixture onto the bread batter in each pan and swirl (a quarter of the cinnamon butter mixture in each pan.) The rest will be used for the second layer.
Pour the remaining bread batter evenly on top of each loaf pan and swirl in the remaining cinnamon butter mixture evenly into both loaves.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack. Then allow the bread to finish cooling on rack.
In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of water and mix well. You want this to be a thick but drizzable consistency so you may need to add another tablespoon of water. Drizzle icing across the top of the bread.
Slice and serve!

Hello.
Nice site.
Great recipes.
Problem: I live in Finland.
They basically have 2 instant cake mixes, yellow and choco.
And, they are not sized like in the US.
So, what do you advise?
Does this bread freeze well?
Yes! It sure does 🙂
