Notes
Expert Tip: When pouring the brown sugar mixture over the cake batter, use a spatula to break the pour. This will help to evenly distribute the mixture and prevent it from denting into the cake batter, giving you a more even and deliciously moist cake.
Refrigerate: After enjoying this delicious Cinnamon Cake, you can store any leftovers in an airtightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze: If you want to save your cake for longer, it's best to freeze it. Simply wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Thaw: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen cake, let it thaw in the refrigerator. Once thaw, it can be kept at room temperature.
