I made the full recipe in 2 8" round pans because we were going out of town and froze one. I thought it was good, but not awesome. The cake itself is nice and tender and has a lovely cinnamon flavor, but it tastes pretty normal to me and isn't really exceptional IMHO. Maybe next time I would use butter instead of oil for that bit of wonderful flavor butter gives since there is no other dominant flavor in this other than cinnamon. I was kind of disappointed that it didn't have a fresh heady cinnamon flavor, but the large quanity made it taste kind of odd. Just not quite right. The teqnique for making the crumbs is very cool and unique. I would try this again, but maybe use a little less cinnamon and sub butter for the oil. Thanks for posting, Evelyn.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
