Chocolate-almond giant cinnamon bun cake
Cakes
To find the time (and stomach-room) to eat cinnamon rolls, you must transform them into a full-fledged sweet. Rescue them from the no man's land between breakfast and dessert and drop them squarely into the SUGAR category. Make them gaudy and sophisticated enough for a dinner party. Prepare them in a way so that each person can have exactly however much he or she wants. <br /> <br />In short, you must turn cinnamon rolls into cake. <br /> <br />In this recipe, a chocolate yeast dough (emboldened with cocoa powder and chocolate chunks) is spread with butter, sugar, and bits of almond paste and additional chocolate. It's then curled around itself into a hypnotic spiral that bakes into a tall cake with the lift and fluff of a cinnamon roll. A cream cheese glaze adds tang; sugared almonds, crunch. <br /> <br />This recipe is adapted from <a href="http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/fluffy-buttery-cinnamon-rolls">Food & Wine</a href> and inspired by <a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/12/24/giant-cinnamon-roll-cake/">Sally's Baking Addiction</a href>.
