Cinnamon Roll Layer Cake

"This Cinnamon Roll Layer Cake is super moist and has a wonderful flavor combination of cinnamon cake layers, brown sugar, and cinnamon cream cheese frosting!..."

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 sticks (170g) unsalted butter, softened ( holds it shape but dents when pressed)
2 cups (400g) sugar
4 eggs
3 cups (342g) cake flour (spooned into measuring cup and leveled off) If you do not have cake flour see substitution in Notes below.
2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda
1 teaspoon (3g) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
1 1/4 cups (296g) buttermilk — if you do not have buttermilk, see substitution below
1/4 cup (54g) vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon (12g) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (108g) light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon (6g) cinnamon
5 Tablespoons (30g) powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons (28g) light brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon (6g) ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons (15g) very hot water (hot water to dissolve the sugar)
2 sticks ,1 cup, (226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese. Using reduced fat or the spreadable cream cheese will cause the frosting to be too soft. Soften very slightly.
2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt (2g) optional - it will cut the sweetness, popcorn salt is best to use because it is fine and dissolves faster
6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (6g) cinnamon
1/4 cup of Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Piping Tips (Optional): French Tip 8B for piping around the top, Star tip 21 for shell border.
