What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make cake bars at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.

  • Yellow Cake Mix– Use your favorite brand of cake mixes for the recipe. I use Pillsbury or Duncan Hines.
  • Butter– Salted or unsalted butter works just fine.
  • Egg– For consistency, I use large eggs for my cooking and baking.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk– Find sweetened condensed milk in the baking section of the grocery store.
  • Brown Sugar– Use light brown sugar, lightly packed for this recipe.
  • Ground Cinnamon– Ground sugar is mixed with the brown sugar and sprinkled over the cake mix dough.
  • White Chocolate Chips– Find white chocolate chips near the regular chocolate chips down the baking isle.
  • Mini Marshmallows– Mini marshmallows are also found in the baking section of the grocery store.

How To Make Gooey Cinnamon Roll Cake Bars

Prepare Cake Mix Dough. Place cake mix, butter and egg into a medium mixing bowl. Stir until dough forms.

Transfer Dough To Baking Dish. Press into prepared baking dish.

Drizzle With Toppings. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, white chips and marshmallows.

Bake. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until baked through. Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Recipe Tips For Success

  • Make Sure Butter Is Softened. To make the cake dough, give the butter enough time to soften before making. Should be room temperature and soft.
  • Plastic Knife. I like to use a plastic knife to cut the bars into squares. This prevents sticking.

How To Serve

Serve cake bars warm or room temperature at your next gathering where dessert is needed.

Leftovers

Store any leftover bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Room temperature is fine.

    Organization travelers commit pretty much all of their time meeting consumers or at conventions or their hotel room.
    Known as ‘DV-2014’ (named for the year in which so-called
    diversity visas are awarded), the annual green card lottery provides
    50,000 visas to 100,000 winners out of at least 9 million applicants to natives
    of countries all over the world, except those with significant numbers of immigrants already living
    in the U. It is often tricky and one wrong move may lead to
    a denial of your application.
