Cake Mix Sunrise Cinnamon Loaves
What do you and your friends do for fun on a Saturday afternoon? Sit by the pool. Go shopping. Watch a movie. Not my friends!
Recently, I got together with nine of my blogging buddies from The Real Farmwives of America and Friends and we did some Freezer Cooking!
I chose to make this moist breakfast bread using yellow cake mix.
Making bread with cake mix is a huge shortcut and results and a soft, moist and fluffy breakfast bread.
Sunrise Cinnamon Rolls have beautiful swirls of cinnamon sugar all throughout the bread.

How to Make Cake Mix Sunrise Cinnamon Loaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and prep two loaf pans by greasing and flouring.
- Combine the first 5 ingredients in large mixing bowl and beat on high for 3 minutes.
- Pour a quarter of the batter into the bottom of each pan.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle half over the batter in the pans.
- Spread the remaining batter evenly into the loaf pans; sprinkle the top of the loaves with the remaining sugar mixture.
- Use a knife to gently swirl sugar and cinnamon into batter.
- Bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, and cool on wire racks.
Notes About Breakfast Bread with Cake Mix
- Look for cake mixes that say they have pudding added. Aldi’s brand has pudding-in-the-mix, as does Betty Crocker and Pillsbury. If you can’t find one with pudding, regular cake mix works too.
- Substitute white cake mix, lemon cake mix or any other options for a fun new spin on these sunrise loaves.
- Chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or chopped nuts would be a great addition to this quick bread using cake mix recipe.
- The sugar on top can burn, so be sure to check the loaves around the 30 minute mark in the oven.
- Wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and then put in an airtight zip-lock bag to store in the freezer for later.
What is Freezer Cooking?
Good question. Cris over at Goodeness Gracious does a great job explaining the concept over on her blog here.
This is the second time I took part in this type of marathon cooking day and I have to admit it stresses me out just a bit! However, we had a great time and I came home with SO MUCH food!
Thanks to Gooseberry Patch we had a head start picking our recipes with their Freezer-Friendly Recipes
cookbook. I chose the Sunrise Cinnamon Loaves as my recipe!
Batch Cooking
It’s a really simple recipe and I decided to step up my game and mix up two batches at once since I had 12 batches to bake in about 5 hours (thankfully the kitchen had 2 ovens)!
As I said before, it was a bit stressful for me so I didn’t get a lot of action shots as I was in the kitchen. Trust me, there are no difficult steps with this recipe so you’ll be OK without step-by-step shots!
After it was all said and done, I had nine delicious smelling soups, side dishes and entrees in my car! Rumor has it that many of the loaves I made didn’t make it to the freezer…the one I took home may not have either!
I have to admit I only kept one for myself. The rest are in my sister’s freezer so she has meals ready to pop in the oven after her baby is born later this month.
