Cinnamon buns have almost become a “must have” for the break-fast, but I don’t always love the daylong process of making them. Yet there’s nothing like the taste of fresh cinnamon buns after the fast. And so, I’ve found a perfect alternative! Cinnamon bun cake — all the flavor of cinnamon buns with the ease of a basic cake!
