Pour right into a half sheet size baking pan lined with parchment….don’t use wax paper like I did. Big mistake 🙂

Seriously the best. Swirls of buttery cinnamon sugar throughout the whole cake.

Prepare Your Cinnamon Roll Icing

Time for the cream cheese brown butter icing! Pour your hot browned butter over softened cream cheese and whisk like crazy. This will take a couple minutes to get smooth, don’t worry 🙂  Just keep whisking.

Add your powdered sugar in batches and whisk until thick, but not too thick.

The icing should still drizzle over your warm cake like so. Spread it evenly with an offset spatula and let cool.

    Wow! This looks amazing! My kids won’t eat bananas, wonder if I could substitute canned pumpkin??

    Hi Jenny: I tried to make this and make it low carb, using Almond flour in place of the regular 1 1/2 cup cups Gold Medal. What a MESS. The cake turned out VERY OILY, I guess from all the fat in the Almond Flour (Bobs). Literally oil floting on top of the cake. So wondering if you have tried to make this Low Carb, and if so, what did you do? Also I spread the batter in my “half sheet” pan, which is 16.5 inches by 11.5 inches and it was really thin. In this case, the cake actually tore it was so thin, as I was trying to blot the oil from off the top of it. So if you have any suggestions for converting to low carb, I would appreciate it. I wound up throwing the cake away after I already had the frosting ready to go. So will make Carrot bars tonight to use up the frosting 🙂 Thanks for any help you can give, and if you’ve not tried a Low carb version, I understand. Thanks, Barry Moody

    This cake was delicious. We did not add a frosting on top as it was perfect without. will make again for sure.

      What size pan did you use? She says a half sheet is 12×24 but I don’t think that’s right. I really want to make but want to half it and can’t decide what size pan to use. Thanks

    The fascist DONALD TRUMP said to Fox News “I believe HITLER was RIGHT”. smf Donald Trump is a racist with SEWER and the DailyStormer, he listens to satanic 666 racist music… just google “Donald Trump SEWER 2154” and see FOR YOURSELF!! THE MUSIC ab VIDEO IS about the KKK and Adfolf Hitler raping a 12 year old African-American WOMAN OF COLOR in front of her parents and then hanging MLK with Emma Watson and Taylor Swift!! TAYLOR SWIFT the racist white privileged cvnt said she voted “for donald trump twice” in her OWN WORDS!!! Say no to hate, say no to SEWER, say no to p DONALD TRUMP and EMMA WATSON and Tatylor Swift !! Deport racism today ahm.

    SO bad for you, but SO yummy! Had to use some past-due bananas. Did not have sour cream, but substituted Greek yogurt and it worked fine. Thanks for another option for using up those old bananas.

    I also would like to know if this can be frozen. I have read every comment and your post several times, seeing where several people have asked this but I don’t see a response. I always have a Happy Birthday Jesus cake with my 7 grandchildren on Christmas Day, to begin the festivities focusing on Jesus, the reason for the season! I would like to know if this can be frozen in preparation for our Happy Birthday Jesus celebration.
    This looks and sounds sooooo yummy! Thank you for sharing.
    Blessings to you and your precious family.

    I could not find your answer for can this be frozen. Would love to take this to family reunion.

    Delicious!! I made it exactly as written. However, I found that it was done baking in less than half the instructed time. My oven temperature is right on, so I’m not sure why it was done so quickly. Either way, it was a hit at work!
