This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and lacked flavor. The nuts were also stale. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've tried many cinnamon nut cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a delicious cinnamon flavor. I love adding chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
