Cinnamon Bun Cake

I have made this several times and I'm making it again today to take to the beach house. We are having about 10 people this weekend so this will be around for them to snack on. I never make the frosting. I think the cake is sugary enough. I always use chopped walnuts in my cinnamon mixture.
