Cinnamon bun cake

 

I love cake and I love cinnamon buns, so it was obvious that one day I would combine the two and come up with this tasty treat.

Breakfast can sometimes be boring, but on special occasions it's nice to spice things up. This is why I love this cinnamon cake, it's sweet and delicious. Perfect for not only breakfast but lunch, dinner, supper and all things in between. 

My family loved it, and it was almost gone by the end of the day.
