Cinnamon Bun Cake

Cinnamon Bun Cake is perfect breakfast or dessert or any time!

I first had this coffee cake for Easter Breakfast but it would be good anytime!  It is way too good to wait until Easter to enjoy it!

The recipe comes from my friend Loi Palmer.  Loi always has lots of yummy recipes to share.

I have a lot of recipes for different variations of cinnamon coffee cake but I have to say this one is my new favorite! It is so yummy and gooey!

The recipe is easy because it is made with a cake mix!  A yummy cinnamon mixture is swirled into the batter and then more batter and cinnamon mixture on top!

It is topped with a powdered sugar drizzle.

It is made in a 9 x 13 pan which at Easter with only 3 of us at home was just too much food. I sent half of it next door for one of our neighbors to enjoy on their Easter morning.

Less than five minutes after my husband returned from the delivery my neighbor was on the phone telling me how wonderful it was and that her husband and daughter were fighting over the yummy topping on the cake!

It is so yummy and good it could be served for dessert too!
