My daughter Brittney saw a new cake mix at the store the other day. It was a cinnamon swirl cake. She didnt buy it and the next time she went down to get it they had none. So she and I headed to the kitchen to try to replicate it. The cake turned out very moist and delicious and was a big hit at home and at the american legion that my dad is cammander at. (we made two and i sent one down to include as a dessert for their steak night) Cinnamon swirled into a cake with just a touch of apple flavor. Add a bit of toffee to the middle filling and you have a cake destined for greatness : )
