Serving Up {Cake}: Cinnabon Cake


This recipe for Cinnabon Cake has been making the rounds on a number of blogs as of late.  I first saw this recipe on The Sister's Cafe blog almost four years ago and made it for Father's Day that year.  It was a hit then and we still enjoy it every chance we have to make it now.  If you find yourself craving cinnamon rolls, this is a great option for enjoying the delicious cinnamon goodness in about half the time.
