Churros, cinnamon buns, snickerdoodles and more – all these bakes have such a wonderful warmth about them, there’s something so ultimately comforting about baking (and eating) with cinnamon and sugar. It’s almost like a sweet warm hug, the kind of hug we’re all missing right now.

I served this cake for both pudding and a teatime treat, and it worked superbly in both scenarios. It won’t look quite so pretty without a bundt cake tin but it’ll still taste amazing. Let me know what you think?

I am from Mexico and dairy-free products are either expensive or hard to find, could I substitute those ingredients with dairy products?
Yes absolutely 😀
Looks great. You could put a bowl of chocolate sauce in the middle for a tear and share-type cake.
That’s a fab idea 😀
