Cinnamon rolls are hard to resist for a few reasons: One, the ooey-gooey center; two, the delicious cinnamon filling; three, the cream cheese frosting. (You knew that last one was coming, didn’t you?) While we all love a treat like that for breakfast, it also makes complete sense to bring those three irresistible things to dessert, especially in the form of cake. Especially in the form of poke cake, where that cinnamon filling has a chance to sink down into every nook and cranny. Here you have it, Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake, bringing the most crave-worthy breakfast out there to shareable, easy-to-make dessert.
