short cut cinnamon roll cake

i needed something easy. not too many ingredients. simple but sinful. something to hit all the right sweet notes i had been craving for a week.

luckily, a southern grace had just posted this super simple, but sinfully delicious recipe for cinnamon roll cake.

what worked

1. it took no time at all to put together. and tasted great.

what didn't

1. i used a 9x9 glass pyrex pan and there was almost too much topping, it needed to be mixed in better. next time i'll try layering the cake batter and the topping - batter, topping, batter, topping - and then swirling it before it bakes. and i bet it would be good with a nice white cake mix too.
