Stace brought this Cinnamon Cake to work one Friday and everyone raved about it, including myself. It’s kind of like the cake version of the cinnamon roll. It makes a lot, so don’t make it if you don’t have anywhere to take it ;). If you are like me, and didn’t know what a jelly roll pan was – I will clue you in (I googled it). It is a wide, flat pan similar to a cookie sheet but with deeper sides. Good thing I had one of those!

Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
Heat together the cinnamon mixture - melt together butter, cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar. This will make it easier to drizzle over the cake batter in a more steady and even flow. Be careful not to "over saturate" one area of the batter with cinnamon mixture.

I made this as a dessert one night, and served it hot, with vanilla icecream, and hot carmel sauce. I doubled the Powdered sugar glaze, because I LOVE icing! I may even tripple it next time :) Great recipe! Thanks Yvonne!
