Eat cake for breakfast. Yep, I do that.
Whether it’s pancakes or chocolate cake. It’s delicious at eight at night or six in the morning.
This cake has officially changed the entire breakfast experience for me. Cinnamon roll…. cake.
There aren’t words.
But since this is a blog post and I’m here to write about this cake, I’ve taken it upon myself to find words at times like this.
So I will simply tell you that this pound cake is dense, and moist, and so much like a cinnamon roll is almost scary.
Really. I kept looking at it thinking, this isn’t a real cinnamon roll??
No, it’s cake. Cinnamon roll cake.
Ahhhhhhhh so good!! And so gone. which means I need to make more.
And my cereal for tomorrow is looking extremely dull now.

Does this freeze well with frosting?
Yes! Put it in the freezer unwrapped for an hour or two. Once the icing is stiff or firm, you can wrap it or put it in an air tight container.
