Cinnamon Roll Cake

This cake is really yummy! It was like one giant doughnut. I bet if you add chopped apples it would resemble an apple fritter.

I didn’t mix the cinnamon swirl into the cake well enough and ended up with delicious gooey cinnamon pockets. I may or may not have made this a few times 2 or 3 times in one week.
