This is an awesome cake! So easy to make and had a wonderful cinnamon flavor. The cake came out really moist and the icing was rich and sweet. This reminded me of a carrot cake. Next time I make this, and I will ;) .... add some carrots for a shortcut carrot cake. Thanks for posting! My family enjoyed this so much it didn't last long in my house.
