This is a very good cake recipe. Nice cinnamon flavor. Thanks for posting. -
I used this recipe to make cupcakes for a bake sale, and they were great! I love the unique idea of making a "cookie flavored" cake. I didn't have whole milk, but skim worked fine too. The house smells heavenly right now! Thanks so much! -
This was a huge hit with people at work! I've even had it requested from 2 of them for their birthdays. -
This cake is addictive! it has a wonderful flavor. It was simple to put together, I followed the directions exactly. The frosting is great on its own. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is delicious and it doesn't have that box cake flavor. Of course anything with 2 sticks of butter is good. It makes great cupcakes and kids love it. I use a pastry bag to create a swirled top for icing the cupcakes.

I live in PA and work in the billing dept. for a local health center. For fun I hang out with friends, and of course cook! I love to have fun cooking but am very inexperianced cook. Never get a chance due to my Dad working second shift and Mom makes his meal mid-day while I'm working. I love to read, play the piano and am learning guitar. I also like to sing and listen to music.
