Tips & Tricks

• For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the white cake layer.
• Prep the cinnamon layer ahead of time and store it in the fridge to save time on baking day.
• If you want a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
• To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warm, making it taste freshly baked.
