Let the good times roll! Turn a can of crescent roll dough into sweet, buttery, cinnamon- and sugar-filled cakes that are a fun treat for Mardi Gras. They're easy to make and much cheaper than the ones you'd find at a bakery. Serve with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

cooking spray
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 ½ tablespoons milk
2 drops green food coloring, or as needed
2 drops yellow food coloring, or as needed
2 drops purple food coloring, or as needed
1 pinch colored sugar or festive sprinkles

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Stir brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove crescent roll dough from the can and separate into 4 rectangles. Press the seams together tightly to seal the dough.
Spread butter mixture evenly over each rectangle, not going all the way to the edges. Start at the bottom of each long edge and roll tightly into a 10-inch log, sealing any open seams. Bring the ends of each roll together to form an oval shape, making sure you press tightly to seal so the filling doesn't ooze out in the air fryer and burn.
Place one or two at a time in the prepared air fryer basket without overcrowding.
Air-fry in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes per batch. Remove to a wire rack and cool.
Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Divide mixture among 3 bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl.
Drizzle icing over each cooled cake and decorate with sugar or sprinkles. Let icing dry before serving, about 10 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup shortening
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla and milk. Beat in the flour mixture, just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. While cake is still warm, spread with butter, and sift confectioners' sugar and cinnamon over the top.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, eggs, and milk. Avoid using margarine or egg substitutes, as they will not produce the same results.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cakes light and airy.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cakes at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cakes will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cakes will take too long to bake and will be dry.
Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These mini cinnamon cakes are a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and simple recipe, give these mini cinnamon cakes a try!
