Cinnamon Roll Cake

   I ♥ Cinnamon Rolls and I ♥ Cake. Put those two together and this is what you'll have my friends. This cake is absolutely delicious. It is buttery, cinnamony goodness. I was very surprised at how light and not too sweet it was, but then again I've never thought any dessert was too sweet, so don't quote me on that. This cake would be perfect to serve for a brunch, and perfect to serve for breakfast on Christmas morning. Don't wait until Christmas to try it though. You'll be glad you didn't.  : )
