The smell of this freshly baked cinnamon roll cake was so mouthwatering! It turned out so fluffy and soft – each bite was just heavenly. Plus, it’s easier to make than the regular ones. My family loved this recipe by I Scream for Buttercream so much; they’re asking me to make it again this week. This will definitely be one of our favorite dessert recipes from now on.
