Giant Cinnamon Roll Cake
#### 4. **Bake**:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
– Once the roll has puffed up, bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through in the center. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
#### 5. **Make the Glaze**:
– While the cake cools slightly, prepare the glaze. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to reach a pourable consistency.
#### 6. **Glaze and Serve**:
– Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon roll cake, letting it ooze into the cracks and swirl.
– Slice like a cake, or serve by pulling off pieces like a giant sticky bun. Enjoy warm!

### Tips for Success
– **Let the dough rise in a warm place** like near a sunny window or a slightly warm oven (turn it on low for a few minutes, then turn it off and place the dough inside).
– **Don’t rush the rising times**—the fluffier the dough, the better the texture!
– Want to make it ahead? You can assemble the spiral and refrigerate it overnight, then let it rise and bake the next morning for a fresh-baked treat.

### Flavor Variations
– **Add nuts**: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts in the filling for a little crunch.
– **Add fruit**: Mix in some finely chopped apples or raisins with the cinnamon sugar.
– **Try different glazes**: Swap cream cheese glaze for a simple vanilla glaze, maple glaze, or even a chocolate drizzle.
