Cinnamon Streusal Loaf Cake Recipe / Cinnamon Cake Recipe

share this

I love cinnamon in cakes, i love the unique flavour and taste it gives to the cake. Plus when i bake anything with cinnamon it is makes the house smells divine. Love it to the core.

Streusal Cake are my favourite. It makes the cake taste delicious with the crunchy topping. This cake has a ton of cinnamon flavour and turns out really soft.

This cake was so buttery and fluffy perfect with a cup of chai.

Hope you liked it and let me know how it turns out.
