I love cinnamon rolls, but sometimes I don't like how long it takes to prepare them.  So I came up with a cake that has the same taste and texture of a cinnamon roll, but only takes a few minutes to make.  It uses basic ingredients from your pantry and it literally comes together in a matter of minutes.  I have to admit, I liked it without the icing, but the kids insisted that I put it on so I did...try it first without and see how you like it.  The next time you're craving cinnamon rolls, but don't have the time to make them, whip up this simple and delicious cake!
