The great thing about this recipe too, whether you fix it this way or leave it plain is, you can have it for breakfast and not feel guilty. Right? I mean it is a giant cinnamon roll after all.
Basic cake recipe is from my grandma. The added 'tweak' is my own. Photos are my own.

This is a great twist on a cinnamon roll recipe. This filled the Test Kitchen with the wonderful cinnamon aroma while baking. Adding dried cherries and pecans really gives this delicate and sweet cake great texture. Plus, the flavor combination is fabulous. The glaze is the perfect topping. Great for brunch, dessert or just because. Very versatile and so yummy!
