Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Cake #EasterBrunchWeek

This is my last recipe for Easter Brunch Week and I wanted to go all out!
I love making biscuit pull apart bread for breakfast and this brunch recipe is inspired by it. I used Rhodes Bread Cinnamon Rolls and made them even more mouthwatering by adding pecans, brown sugar, and butter for an ooey gooey, oh so good breakfast cake!
If you like Monkey Bread, you have got to try this recipe.

 I love Silpat’s pan liners when baking and cooking. I used their 8 inch round liner for this recipe and it worked great! The cake did not stick and it inverted right onto my platter with ease.
