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?
I originally made this cinnamon quick bread as part of a marathon freezer cooking session with friends. 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
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 made these 2 loaves and they are beautiful. Done in 33 minutes in gas oven. Only thing I changed was adding 1/2 C of dates to each loaf in the middle. Swirled as instructed and so yummy! Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed them. The dates sound like a great addition!
