This cinnamon cake is delicious [and here’s the recipe]

Today I’m sharing my fave cinnamon cake recipe with you. I promised this in my very first blog post, and of course I want to keep my word. Sweets are my guilty pleasure and this cinnamon cake is sweet, but not too sweet. Just the way I like it. Read more and learn how to make this delicious cinnamon cake yourself.

CINNAMON DELIGHT

There is something about cinnamon. I just love the taste of it. Like in this cake, or what about cinnamon rolls [oohhh my do I love those]. And what do you think about cinnamon in a smoothie? [I can do healthy as well!] And as a spice on its own, cinnamon truly is healthy. But you can read loads of other blog posts about that, so I won’t bother you with it. I like it right where I can see it, on my latte for instance.

WITH LOVE

Let’s be honest, how cute is it to decorate your latte? Or just give a little something extra to presenting your cake, with love. I got these coffee stencils at Søstrene Grene. They have so many cozy and beautiful products, which really make sure you can create the ultimate hygge feeling at home.
