Vegan Cinnamon Roll Cake 

What’s better than cinnamon rolls? One giant cinnamon roll cake! This show-stopping dessert brings all the cozy, spiced flavors of classic cinnamon rolls, just in cake form. Perfect for fall mornings, brunch with friends, or your next weekend bake, this recipe is soft, fluffy, and completely dairy-free and vegan.

Made with rich Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk, this tender dough bakes up beautifully and stays perfectly moist. A swirl of buttery brown sugar cinnamon filling and a creamy vegan “cream cheese” frosting on top make every bite a little taste of heaven.

• 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour (320g)

• 2 tbsp granulated sugar

• ⅓ cup room temperature vegan butter (80g)

• ¼ tsp salt

Yeast Mixture

• ½ cup Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk (120ml)

• 1 tbsp granulated sugar

• 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (one standard package)

Filling

• ½ cup room temperature vegan butter (112g)

• ½ cup dark brown sugar (100g)

• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Plus

• ½ cup Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk to pour over the cake before baking

Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

• ⅔ cup vegan cream cheese

• ½ cup powdered sugar (50g)

• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Directions

1. Activate the yeast:
   In a small bowl, combine room-temperature coconut milk and 1 tbsp of sugar. Microwave for about 1 minute, then check the temperature — it should be between 105–110°F. Add the yeast, cover with a towel, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, vegan butter, salt, and activated yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5–10 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand).

3. Let it rise:
   Cover the bowl with a towel and set in a warm spot for 45 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.

4. Prepare the filling:
   While the dough rises, whisk together the vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.

5. Roll and fill:
   Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle (about 15 x 12 inches). Spread the filling evenly on top.
