My friend & I made this & OMG THIS CAKE IS LITERALLY TO DIE FOR. We didn't have cinnamon sugar on hand so we mixed 1 tsp of sugar & 1 tsp of cinnamon together to make the cinnamon sugar. We followed the recipe to the tee with no changes made at all & it turned out PERFECT!

Very moist, great texture, easy. Tastes like Cinnamon Toast.

Just a little heavy and sweet for my taste.

I made it for my Mom's Birthday and it was a definite hit! I had requests from everyone for the recipe. And it's easy to make your own! Just add coconut flakes for a change in taste and texture. Or whatever you like. Its a wonderful cake!

I had to add three more tbsp of milk to frosting to make it spreadable and even then it was a little stiff. Very yummy the way it is, although a little sweet for my tastes. Next time I'll use a cream cheese based frosting to cut some of the sweetness.
