Monkey Bread/Cake

By: Marie DePadova • In: Desserts and Baking • Cuisine: American

I don’t remember having this when I was growing up.  A year or so ago, we found a separate recipe for Monkey Bread and have made that a few times.  While it was good, I think it is a little too sweet.  As a result, I decided to combine the two recipes.  I will follow-up with some comments after I try making this new combined recipe.

Ingredients

  •  32 oz Pillsbury Country Style Biscuits (four 8-ounce packages)
  • 2/3 cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar (dark, packed)
  • Walnuts (optional, chopped)
  • Raisins (optional)

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2:

Combine in a bowl 2/3 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp. cinnamon – set aside.

Step 3:

Melt together butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar and bring to a boil

Step 4:

Cut biscuits in half. Coat 2 cans of biscuits with cinnamon/sugar mixture and drop into a greased bundt pan.

Step 5:

Add nuts or raisins if desired.

Step 6:

Pour 1/2 of the melted mixture on the biscuits in the pan.

Step 7:

Add the rest of biscuits in the same manner. Pour the remainder of the melted mixture over the top.

Step 8:

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Remove from the pan after 5 minutes.
