This Simple Cinnamon Cake is light and wonderful. Perfect for the cinnamon lover on a Sunday brunch!I love cinnamon, you guys…it’s one of my favorite smells. Like a moth to flame. Side note: we had fresh apple cider cinnamon donuts last September and I’m still day dreaming about them. Anyway, I made cinnamon cake. Well, cumin cake the first time. Lol. Cinnamon cake the second and third time.
As the name suggests, it’s a simple cake. It does have a cinnamon syrup glaze, but no frosting, no layers, no mix-ins. I adapted it from all recipes, using butter instead of shortening, and I tripled the amount of cinnamon called for. OF COURSE. That’s the law.
