Cinnamon Roll Cake

Getting ready to go in the oven

I found this recipe on pinterest and we absolutely love it. Seriously, cinnamon rolls are wonderful and cake, well, that is easy to make. Therefore, you get the taste of cinnamon rolls without the big process of making actual cinnamon rolls. This cake doesn't last long in the house. We eat it for breakfast, as a snack, and for dessert. Well, I guess it is a good thing that I don't make it very often.
