My Favorite Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

A warm cup of coffee and a healthy slice of this scrumptious cake is all you really need. It's THE only cake you should ever serve at a brunch, and it will feed many. Try this easy-enough recipe, and keep it on hand (or memorize it). It will delight your mom on Mother's day, feed the family on Easter, warm the soul on a gloomy day, and bring smiles on a sunny Saturday morning. 

I've been making this cake for many years now, it has been adapted from the Six Sister's website. If you love cinnamon rolls, give this cake a try <3
