This is a quick and easy fix for when you have to have that cinnamony cake thing. Most of the ingredients we already have on hand, and throwing it together is no fuss and no muss! Great for a quick Sunday dessert or breakfast and also works well for those last-minute school carry-to's that the kids forgot to tell us about til the night before.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This ooey gooey cinnamon swirl cake tastes like a super soft cinnamon roll. A cross between coffee cake and a cinnamon roll, it's filled with cinnamon flavor. The sweet glaze gives this cake the cinnamon roll feel without the work.
