Cinnamon Roll Cake

I made this cake earlier this year, but never blogged about it. Then I made it last night for a work luncheon, and since I am on a baking blog roll, thought I would share it now. It is such a simple way to make and enjoy a warm ooey-gooey cinnamon roll that you won't believe it was this easy to bake! I have never attempted real cinnamon rolls and with this recipe I may never have to. Everyone who has tried this cake raves about it and asks for the recipe. It is that good! The pan never lasts the whole day. And if you make it, yours won't either.
