Cinnamon cake
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. Cinnamon gives the cake not only an amazingly subtle aroma, but also a stunning color and flavor. To complement the palette, you can add vanilla, and for lovers of spicy desserts I can recommend adding a pinch of hot pepper to the dough. Before serving, the cinnamon cake can be decorated with chocolate, shredded coconut, or nuts.
