Gluten Free Cinnamon Pound Cake
Gluten Free Cinnamon Pound Cake, I don’t know about you but this is one of my favourite cakes, an easy fall cinnamon cake with a perfectly sweet cinnamon syrup!
I love cinnamon, you guys…it’s one of my favourite spices and it smells divine.
Let’s get to business. No messing around. This is one of my favourite cakes. (O I said that already) I’d like to call it Autumn in a Cake. But I’ll spare you that. It’s moist and full of flavour. Lovely on its own, but add that sweet syrup? Oh dear.
