SIMPLE CINNAMON CAKE

Confused the ground cinnamon with ground cumin.

I mean, I didn’t confuse them in terms of not knowing the difference. I just accidentally grabbed the wrong one. Because OMG why do they look so similar? And also, why do I keep housing them next to each other? WHY?

Unlike many successful recipes that have actually originated out of a mistake, cumin cake is not one of them. HA.

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.

It’s light and wonderful. Perfect for a Sunday brunch or Easter!
