Such a great cake. I omitted the cinnamon for a vanilla cake and made it for a birthday cake with buttercream frosting. Melted butter in the microwave, used hot water and wisked the rest together. The kids loved it!

Wow! Super quick to make and tasty! I actually used maple extract in the batter and used a mix of vanilla/maple in the frosting. Will definitely be making this again. Would be a very quick and easy dessert for a large group. I think chopped pecans would be great on top, but my kids won't eat nuts. Thanks!

This cake was wonderful. I did not have buttermilk so I substituted one cup of sour cream. The cake was done beautifully in 20 minutes and I quick cooked it in the freezer. We frostened it with the delicous frostening recipe you provided and from start to finish...we were all enjoying a slice in under an hour! Hats off to you! Thanks!!!!

I made this for a party yesterday, brought in the leftovers to work today, and had many requests for the recipe. I think it's even better the second or third day (stored in fridge). I don't think it needed more cinnamon or vanilla, and I used low-fat cream cheese. Really yummy!

My family loved this cake. After reading the other comments, I decided to double the amount of vanilla and cinnamon, and it was delicious. Next time I make it, I'm going try almond extract instead of vanilla, which I think will be good, too.
