Giant Cinnamon Roll Cake

Is there anything better than a yummy brunch with family? Okay, I’m sure you can name a few things that are better, but brunch definitely tops my list. It means a morning of sleeping or lounging around the house, not quite energetic enough to make breakfast, but far to hungry to wait until lunch. Today I was in the cinnamon bun baking mood, but I decided to a different route. I found this awesome idea from Sally’s Baking Addiction and thought it was the perfect recipe to make .

Ingredients 

CAKE 
2 and 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour (careful not to overmeasure)
