You saw the teaser on Instagram, right? Well here‘s the S’mores Cinnamon Roll Cake in all its cavity-inducing sweetness, caloric-ifying glory and grandness. Open wide because you’ll want to make sure each bite has a balanced ratio of the cinnamon roll that’s been heavily laced with chocolate, graham cracker crumbs and a whopping piece of the puffy marshmallow topping.
Yes, I’m being over the top with my food pushing fat-kid speak.
That’s what happens when you offer your husband a slice of glory and he casually replies, “Maybe after the Regular Show” and then your little guy nods in agreement. WHAT THE WHAT??
I know it’s a recurring theme that still causes me to pause. So now you see why this post opens the way it does—someone has to pump up my dessert.
And btw, they never did try it—not a bite. “Too much sweetness” – I don’t even know what that means. What I do know and my cinnamon-y-roll-smores belly can tell you – make this. Eat alone or share. Either way it will be just as satisfying.
S'Mores Cinnamon Roll Cake
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, 12.4 oz. can
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 6oz. chocolate
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 2 cups marshmallows (large or mini size; more or less to preference)
Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 6inch cake pan (preferrably a removeable bottom for easy removal), lightly cover with bake spray.
- Remove cinnamon roll from cannister and set aside icing. Cut each cinnamon roll slice into quarters and place in a bowl. Add in graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and set aside.
- Place chocolate, heavy cream and corn syrup in small sauce pan over low heat. Gently stir until chocolate is melted and combined. Pour chocolate mixture over quartered cinnamon roll mixture and toss to coat.
- Transfer mixture to cake pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to slightly cool. Pour icing on top and then layer with marshmallow.
- Return pan to oven. Turn oven setting to broil to toast marshmallows to a golden finish, about 2-4 minutes. Do this with the oven door open, so you can keep a watchful eye as the marshmallows go from golden to burnt very quickly. Remove from oven cool slightly and serve.
I DID see this cake on Instagram, and it looks totally decadent! Who cares if it’s full of sweet cinnamon rolls followed by sweet, fluffy roasted marshmallows? I don’t think that kind of sweetness would stop me from grabbing for one second! I say your family missed out. 😉
This may just be the best kind of cinnamon rolls ever! Love that you use Pillsbury too – I could make this so easily!
Wait, they didn’t even try one bite?! I’m weeping for you ;). This looks just as good as the IG teaser did!
If someone offered me this while I was running a marathon I’d eat it!!! Never say later to a cake like this…NEVER!! lol Love this recipe!!
I’m not sure I’d I would want to share!! 😉
What is wrong with your family?! If I lived closer, I would offer to be your taste tester. You know, sheerly out of the kindness of my heart. 😉
This looks amaze balls, as per usual.
Naomi the cake is stunning – I mean, just breathtakingly good looking!
I love that you didn’t make homemade cinn roll for this cake. I mean, I do enjoy making them – but I do enjoy shortcuts when I can, too!
Pinned of course.
Stunning cake and I wouldn’t want to share even a piece!
Holy motha of cinnamon rolls!!! This is fantastic. Best S’mores I have ever seen. And cinnamon rolls.
I can’t believe them! The only reason they shouldn’t try it is because you don’t feel like sharing! Too much sweetness? Psht. No such thing! Gorgeous photos as always!
Bread and cake together? this is my perfect idea of a sweet dessert. I love the pull apart design to the cake and topping is just stunning.
I’m without words! We eat s’mores a lot (my son is a huge fan) but he will flip out when he sees this!!!
I’d want to eat this alone, but my family would go crazy for this!!! Looks killer!
Absolutely gorgeous. Too much sweetness, that’s crazy! Not enough 😉 I would defo want a huge slice of this cake!!
Seriously, yes! Yes, yes, yes!! Love this so much!
WOW that is seriously genius! Are you kidding me right now?
argh – this looks amazing. I want this for my birthday cake! And I know how it feels to have a houseful of none-sweet-eaters. Does not compute.
It’s really amazing how simple ingredients can create something so beautiful! Or maybe it’s just your awesome pictures 🙂 Either way, this is perfect for my ginormous sweet tooth. I fear that I could finish this whole thing in one sitting.
Truly beautiful! Not to mention it must taste amazing!
Holy SUGAAAAAR! Love it.
I don’t even know the way I finished up here, however I thought this publish used to be great. I do not recognise who you might be however definitely you’re going to a
famous blogger should you aren’t already. Cheers!
Naomi, this cake is stunning!! Almost too pretty to eat! 🙂
This is a stunningly easy recipe! Yum! Sharing is overrated! 😉
I saw these floating around on pinterest yesterday. Absolutely divine.
Love this!! And they didn’t eat a bite?! How can this be? Off the hook, gorgeous, bring on the shugah!
stop it right now! I wanna eat that SO hard! YUMSVILLE!!
I need to plant my face in this cake. Seriously–I think I just gained like 10 lbs just looking at the pictures. Good lord. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!
Sometimes you look at a food, and say, Woaaa and your cake is that. Such a delicious looking cake.
there are no words to describe how much i love this post
This looks so decadent, and I especially love how the marshmallows fluff up. We don’t get Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in South Africa, but I love the whole concept.
Sam
Oh my goodness. I can’t even. You never fail to impress, Naomi! It looks beautiful and delicious.
Great recipe. I plan to use sugar free dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
This is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve seen all day. Anybody who says otherwise is just insane. I want to put that sugary mess in my face.
HI Sam-Of course you can use homemade a cinnamon roll recipe. And next time I may just do that, the cannister just makes it super fast and easy.
I so want an slice (or two) of this cake!
I can’t even believe this is real life. How do you come UP with this stuff?!?! xoxo
Wow, these look amazing, and actually really simple! I might have to try this soon! 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

This is such a ridiculous idea yet it’s absolutely brilliant. I love the way you think!
