This cinnamon swirl cake is a personal favorite of mine. It’s super moist and just melts in your mouth. I try not to make this cake to often because when I do the urge to over indulge is just too overwhelming to say the least.
This cake’s flavor is best described as a love child between a honey bun and a cinnamon roll. The texture is soft and crumbly while the crust has a slight crunch and is covered in a glaze. An easy way to impress your friends and family at your next gathering; they won’t believe this cake isn’t store brought.
