Scratch Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

 

 

Lately I’ve seen quite a few recipes for cinnamon roll cake and honey bun cake.  I made one that was made from scratch and one that was made with a cake mix. They were good, however  I like cinnamon rolls to be on the dense side (you know, that gooey center) and that’s the kind of cake I wanted to replicate.  So this cake is a little dense (that’s why I called it a coffee cake),  it has great cinnamon roll flavor and the perfect icing to top it off!
