Recipe for a simple cake with a crispy cinnamon topping
Today I invite you to try a Cinnamon-topped cake from Donna Hay’s recipe. This incredibly aromatic cake with cinnamon and coffee is very simple and quick to make, and tastes extraordinary. Moreover, it’s a cake for a large baking sheet, so you can share it with family and friends. It’s the kind of cake that’s easy to take to work, because it certainly won’t get damaged during transport and won’t stain clothes. I highly recommend it – it will be perfect with coffee.

Simple cinnamon coffee cake – notes
Today I have for you a recipe for cinnamon-topped cake from Donna Hay’s book “Modern Baking”.
The cake is very simple and quick to make, and also very tasty.
It has a topping of sugar, cinnamon, and instant coffee.
My topping turned out very dark because instead of cane sugar, I used the last bit of coconut sugar.
Coconut sugar has a dark color and a heavier, coffee-like taste – it worked perfectly here.
If you have such sugar at home, use it. You will be delighted!
I also modified the recipe a bit – I used much less sugar than in the recipe – especially since there is additional sugar in this topping.
There’s also a lot of the topping itself, and I think you could make it with half the portion and it would still be fine.
See my recipe below and find out for yourself how to make a quick cinnamon cake.
