I ran across a Delish recipe that seems to take care of the sweet comfort food cravings of Cinnamon Rolls and Cake! It says it tastes Exactly like a Cinnamon Roll! This got me excited about trying it. Yummy Cinnamon Rolls seem to take a much longer time to make.  For some reason when I've tried, they don't turn out the way I picture them in my head.
