Cinnamon Roll Cake

What says fall like the smell of cinnamon?  With all the fall delights it was hard to choose just one recipe to feature this month, but this cinnamon roll cake is mouthwatering, moist and delicious, and best served warm from the oven.  

Imagine coming in from an afternoon walk in the crisp cool air, or back from an exciting afternoon at the rink, and warming up a piece of this decadent creation with a cup of coffee or tea, you will be warm in now time.

Every time I share a picture of it, or serve it to guests, I get requests for the recipe.  I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
