Cinnamon roll cake!

The name says it all...YUM! This was so easy to make and was so tasty! It was our nanny's birthday today so we made these for her to start her morning off right. It was killing me not to eat some before she did, but I waited until after work. It was worth the wait, yum! Just like cinnamon rolls, but softer!
