Smells Wonderful When It’s Baking and Tastes Even Better

There is another way to serve this for those of you who don’t like vanilla glaze. You can always leave it out (which makes this even easier) and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of your cake slice instead. I guarantee it’s just as delicious either way!

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
