Why: When I got married my mom gave me a recipe book full of her most popular recipes that she made for us. It's really been invaluable. My little brother's birthday was this week but my sister was out of town so we slightly delayed his birthday party for the next weekend. Not wanting to leave him high and dry on his birthday, I invited him over for a solid home cooked meal. I knew he would love anything out of my moms cook book so I made him his favorite, ribs and cheesy potatoes. For dessert I chose a cinnamon swirl cake. I haven't had it since I've moved out of the house and Michael has been dreaming about it ever since his fork hit the plate. It appears that it's going to become a staple around our house which is great because it's super easy and quick.
What: This cake is pretty much a cinnamon roll without all the fuss and work. Also known as the best idea ever. I don't know about you, but around my house growing up all cakes came in a rectangle pan. I halved the batch and it was the perfect amount for 3 people with a little bit for leftovers. Once the cake had been cooling for apx 1 hour I did a simple powdered sugar glaze which was so necessary. Next time I make it I'll increase the cinnamon mixture a little but overall, mom knew what she was doing.
