Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Cake

My husband loves cinnamon rolls...but sometimes it's not worth all the work just for a treat for him..I don't care for cinnamon rolls!  So, if I make them, he's the only one eating them.  So..I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it would be a great way to give him the taste of cinnamon rolls without all the time, work and tons of rolls.  This is the original recipe, but for our little household I halved it and it worked just fine.
