Who doesn’t love a classic? Well, I love a classic and this one is special because it is a recipe I started making when my 25 year old daughter was in first grade. It has really stood the test of time.

This cake is simple to prepare and has become a staple at every school function and bake sale. I always keep the ingredients in the house. It comes together so quickly, you can actually bake it when your guest arrive and it will be ready for dessert.

If you can’t find the cinnamon chips in your local grocery store, you can find them on Amazon. I will link them to my store front.
