LOW CARB CINNAMON ROLL COFFEE CAKE

LOW CARB CINNAMON ROLL COFFEE CAKE
This great recipe comes from a website called All Day I Dream About Food.  Olivia told me about this site and I wanted to make a nice coffee cake for hospitality hour at church.  This recipe fit the bill.  A number of people in our congregation are diabetic and I wanted to find a recipe that would be yummy yet good for them to eat.  The coffee cake has a nice texture, a great cinnamon center, and delicious cream cheese icing.  Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy this cake.
