This dump cake recipe takes advantage of not one, but three store-bought items for an easy homemade dessert. Canned cinnamon rolls are topped with ready-made cream cheese frosting and a box of cinnamon swirl coffee cake mix tops it off all in one 9- by 13-inch pan. Make sure to cover every bit of the cake mix is covered with butter—this provides the moisture it needs to cook properly.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray: 0 piece
  • deluxe cinnamon rolls (5-count), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, icing reserved: 2 cans (17.5 ounce cans)
  • canned cream cheese frosting: 1 container (16 ounce container)
  • pecans: 0.5 cup (toasted; chopped)
  • cinnamon swirl coffee cake mix: 1 pack (21.5 ounce pack)
  • salted butter: 0.75 cup
