  1. A delicious cake. My only criticism is that Step 7 omits to mention placing the cake batter into the tin. Some of my topping fell off too, and I wonder if some of it could be sandwiched between two layers of batter before baking. I may try this next time....and there will be a next time. Thanks for posting Fairy.
     
  2. I made this over the weekend when I had a house full and it made a great cake to slice and just pick up and eat. Next time, I will press the cinnamon mixture into the dough. Most of it fell off, but it made for a tasty finish when cleaning off the plate.
     
  3. Ooh, easy & yummy. A fave with the kids. Thanks, Sistah!
     
  4. Very easy cake and so good! I used a combination of almonds, pecans, and walnuts for the nut mixture. Thank you FairyNuff!
     
  5. Delicious and very easy to make. I made this in a spring form pan, and I used chopped macadamia nuts. Thanks for sharing. Those I served it to loved it.
