Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cinnamon Roll Cake. Is it a cake? Is it a cinnamon roll? It is a cake with the flavors of cinnamon rolls and even topped with the sweet sugar glaze. It is not unusual for us to make a batch of cinnamon rolls for dessert. This cake was a nice change of pace for our cinnamon roll fix.

Surprisingly, this cake was not as sweet or rich as I expected when I first made it. Probably because you put everything in a 9×13 baking dish, so it is large cake.

This cake reminds me of a coffee cake but more. That means I can enjoy this with my afternoon coffee too! Just another reason to take a bite of this yummy cinnamon roll cake.
