Yummy cake! I used chopped walnuts, and added a few to the topping as well. This went so fast! A neighbor was here and had a piece, loved it, and said it would be good with a chocolate cake mix too, humm, might be worth a try. Great recipe, crawfish pie! Thanks!! -
A very good cake. However, it does make two cakes if baked in the 8" pans. I would also maybe cut the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture in half as it seemed a little overwhelming. Excellent texture, very moist cake. Took it to a church potluck & everyone loved it! -
Everyone loved this cake. I couldn't keep people out of it, so we would have some for dessert. Try this cake, your family will love you for it!

I made mine in a bundt pan too. I put half the brown sugar mix in between two layers of the batter, then the rest on the top. I swirled it in some. For the icing, I just mixed powdered sugar with the milk and vanilla. It was soooo good!!! -
Made this for Father's Day...it is now one of my FAVORITE cakes ever!! Brought back memories of Sunday mornings with my dad eating cinnamon rolls :) Sooooo yummy!!! I also made it a bundt pan, like another reviewer. I sprayed the bundt pan with pam, sprinkled abut a 1/4 of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture into the pan, then poured the cake mix on top of that. (So the brown sugar/cinnamon would be on top of the cake!) I then put the rest of the brown sugar/cinn on the cake mixture and swirled it with a knife. The amount of cake mixture was perfect in the bundt pan- it rose up just perfectly! I did have to bake it for about 50 minutes...I checked it every 5 minutes after 30. I also ommitted nuts, but it didn't effect it at all! AMAZING cake!!!
