Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Sheet Cake

I’m just going to start off my telling you that this cake is deadly.

If you are a pumpkin lover like me, it is entirely possible to eat the whole pan . . .no joke! Heck, I think even if you aren’t a pumpkin lover, this cake could easily convert you.

The pumpkin flavor combined with the yellow cake mix and swirls of cinnamon throughout the cake then topped off with a delicious glaze is  oooooh so divine! This cake just melts in your mouth. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I probably would have and could have eaten the pan in its entirety had it not been for the fact that I took about 2/3 of it to the ladies that I visit teach.  Lucky them!  This will definitely be gracing our dessert table at Thanksgiving.

If you do make this cake, consider yourself warned and be prepared to do an extra 695 jumping jacks.
