GW, you can always be relied on to post great recipes and no change with this one. It was so good, when I went to my larder I found I just had 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon left but it wasn't noticed in the finnished cake. The picture only shows just half the cake as my work mates will get the other half, so it's boxed up ready to go. I just know they will love it too. Thank's for posting another great sourdough recipe I am gradually working my way through the list.
