Ingredients – refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing) – vanilla extract – ground cinnamon – nutmeg – yellow cake mix (or spice cake mix for more flavor) – butter, melted and  (cold), cut into small pats

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans and cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Set aside the icing for later. Spread the quartered cinnamon rolls evenly in the baking dish.

Sprinkle Spices: Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the cinnamon rolls.

Add the Dry Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cinnamon rolls. Do not mix or stir—this is key for a dump cake!

Top with Melted Butter:  Stir vanilla extract into the melted butter. Pour this mixture evenly over the dry cake mix, making sure to cover as much as possible. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs).

Add Butter Pats: At this point, check the cake: If any spots of dry cake mix remain, evenly distribute small pats of the remaining ½ stick cold butter over those areas. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

Drizzle with Icing Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes before drizzling with icing, or allow to cool longer for cleaner slices. For easier drizzling, slightly warm the icing packet by placing it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. Drizzle the reserved cinnamon roll icing over the top. Serve warm.
