Comments
The only changes I made to this recipe were adding a pinch of ground cinnamon to the flour/baking soda mixture and baking it in a 10" tube pan. Once the cake is completely cooled, I dust it with confectioner's sugar. This is truly a delectable cake.
Love the use of the tube pan and dusting of icing sugar - simple changes that elevated the presentation leaps and bounds. Lovely.
