Variations and Tips:
- For a cream cheese frosting taste, mix a little cream cheese with powdered sugar and a splash of milk to top your cake.
- Add nuts or raisins to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Consider using a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon for an added depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a healthier version, substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour and use a sugar substitute.
- Experiment with different flavorings, like almond extract, to give it a unique twist!
