Cinnamon Twist Coffee Cake

"I got this recipe over 40 yrs ago from a Fleischmann's Yeast Cookbook, The section is called "Rising on Ice" I love it because I do all the work the day or several hours before and just bake it when I want it really fresh & warm from the oven!"

  1. OMG!! I have been looking for this long lost recipe for many many years, like over 45 years. It was in a small paper mini recipe book from Fleischmann's I got when I was in high school HomeEc class. Since the dawn of the internet, I have been searching for it and even on the Fleischmann's yeast website I could not find it. So happy I did one last search today and like magic this popped up. Although the recipe was written as a regular recipe, not a refrigerated recipe, this is exactly the same recipe. I just could not remember how to form the twists and I cannot thank you enough for posting this recipe. I thought I lost it forever but thanks to you it is now a part of my recipe collection. I will never lose it ever again. A million thanks to you!!
     
  2. Made this last night, baked this morning to take to work with me. It turned out really pretty. I put it in the lounge, I got really busy and never got a chance to get any. By the time I got down there it was all gone! I guess it was good. Although the ing listed eggs, the directions never told when to add and while I was reading the directions the eggs never got added. It was good without I guess. Thanks
