Cinnamon Roll Cake - I can never make enough of them ...


Do you bake as often as I do? 

Or do you want a simple, slam dunk cake to go to when you need to make something to satisfy a few guests that is not only hands down the easiest cake I have ever made but a tasty buttery treat that never lasts more than 3 hours...  Well here it is - 


I follow a blog "sewfantastic" and this recipe was right up my alley - I have made this cake 5 times since Thanksgiving weekend and yes... I literally mean 5 times, I have even had to make one to send to someone else's house LOL! This is the easiest, baking I have ever done.
Just dump, mix, fold the batter, then mix, and swirl the cinnamon, shove in the oven for 30 minutes, make a confectioner's sugar glaze and serve... I'm in L-O-V-E!


Give it a try - you will love it. And thanks Juilianne

Mrs. Chic - Let me warn you now, this is a really addicting cake. I have done the cinnamon swirl style several ways and I always forget to take pictures of the entire process because it is so easy that I memorized the recipe after making it that first time. It is really a second nature cake and I am confident your family will enjoy it. I am going to make another one today LOL!
