I thought this cake was very boring. The flavor wasn't very good, and there was way too much glaze. It doesn't live up to the 'tang' of Snickerdoodle cookies. -
This was a very delicious, moist cake indeed! When preparing the cake, I added 1 tsp. of vanilla extract to the mix. I found this cake needed to bake a bit longer (an extra 10 minutes to be exact). When preparing the glaze, I used about 1-1/2 tablespoons of milk. Thank you Aunt Yaya for the recipe! -
Great recipe!!! Love Snickerdoodle cookies so wanted to try this. Love the cinnamon taste. Cake was very moist. Frosted with butter cream frosting, added a tsp of cinnamon to the frosting to get a nice light brown color. Did freeze a few pieces and they tasted really good after thawing. -
This cake is absolutely easy *and* delicious! I used chopped walnuts and baked it for 40 minutes in a 9" x 13" pan. The glaze helped keep the cake moist (I did add a few drops of vanilla extract to it). Thanks Aunt Yaya for a new family favorite. -
Love this cake! My kiddos love snickerdoodles, so to find a cake that is like it.....HEAVEN. I didnt have oil so I used crisco butter flavored and milk instead of water. I just sprinkled cinn/sugar on top and a little brown sugar cause I could. What a great dessert! Gone within 24 hours. I also used my jelly roll pan to make bars instead of the bundt pan. Thanks for the great recipe!

Wonderful easy to make cake. I used pan release recipe#78579 to prepare my baking pan. For the filling I used chopped pecans and swirled the filling mixture into the batter slightly with a knife to distribute it more evenly. The drizzle was a perfect addition (I used 10% half and half cream instead of milk), and sprinkled some cinnamon on top for presentation. Yummy.
