So delicious! This cake was particularly easy to make and the directions were pretty straight forward. I followed the recipe exactly and the only thing I would change, is to add more icing, delicious! ;) I did swirl the topping quite a bit to make sure it was evenly distributed, as the mixture doesn't fully allow for that. i am not a sweets person, but this will a treat I will make often! Thank you for this recipe to be used for years to come! :)

I won second place at a baking contest we held at the store where I work making this!

This cake is so yummy! I added big chunks of chopped Granny Smith apples before the topping then added toasted pecans on top after swirling the topping. It is soooo good! I guess now it's a apple pecan cinabun cake.

My grandson and I made this cake. Everyone loved it. We made just as the recipe called for.<br/>And I would not change anything

I have made this cake twice now- a real fan favourite! In my second cake I reduced the amount of butter that I added to the topping to 3/4 cup. Not a whole lot of difference but it did cook more evenly. I also increased the amount of "swirling" I did second time around to get more cinnamon into the cake. <br/><br/>I made the cake in a spring form pan - it makes for a nice presentation.
