I am not a huge fan of cinnamon. However, I love the aroma of cinnamon. Imagine if you will, the smells of cinnamon, butter and vanilla, all together. It is quite a delicious aroma. That aroma will be drifting through your home, when you bake this. Actually, I would like a bubble bath in this scent. Ahhhhhhhhh, that would be heavenly. I must warn you….as delicious as this cake is, it is definitely not something you want to make frequently. It is loaded with butter, and sugar, and butter and more butter. So please proceed with caution!! LOL If you like cinnamon rolls, you will love this cake.

After you have enjoyed this very sweet treat, I highly recommend a treadmill or a 10 mile run. 🙂
