It takes under 30 minutes to bake from scratch! Perfect for breakfast or for dessert! this is the BEST cake EVER! I know nowadays so many recipes use either a cake mix, a tube of biscuits, crescent rolls or even Pillsbury cinnamon rolls as a base. NOT HERE!  I love making them using real ingredients. Its absolutely possible to make this cake from scratch easily, all you need are basic ingredients and you can make an irresistible breakfast/dessert cake without sacrificing the taste!

I love adding extra glaze all over the warm cake! I am telling you, this cake is to-die-for.  I make it at least 3 times a month, I love it with hot coffee in the early morning or after dinner for an amazing dessert. Right out of the oven is BEST, its all hot and extra gooey!

Baker Notes: Cake may be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days; however, texture is best when served on the same day. I’m due to have my baby girl in less than 3 weeks now! So being very pregnant, I of course had a craving for some warm cake. This hit the spot! It’s absolutely delicious and I had all of the ingredients in my pantry or fridge. No crazy shopping trips.

I’ve made this cake dozens of times, its tried and true. It was an absolute hit at my family brunch. You can even  make it a chocolate swirl, just use cocoa powder in place of cinnamon. Highly recommend for a special treat!
