  • Top with the remaining cake batter and remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cake is fully set, the edges on the cake begin to brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. 
The cake will have the best results if it’s made with room temperature ingredients to ensure that all the ingredients are combined evenly.  
Use full fat diary ingredients (milk and sour cream) for this recipe to ensure that the cake is as moist as possible.
