Cinnamon Roll Cake

Although the name of this recipe has "cake" in it, you can totally enjoy a piece for breakfast. It is gooey, full of flavor and heavenly just like cinnamon rolls.  I had the pleasure of making this for a luncheon for a friends baby blessing.  It was gone in seconds.  Luckily, I had reserved 3 pieces before setting the plate out.  But those pieces reserved didn't last long, once my hubby and kids got to them. So, word of advice when making this ..... Be the first to get your slice!

3 c. flour
