Cinnamon Swirl Cake

I had no idea that the episode of the TV show I was on was going to air today, until the tweets started coming in. Thank you everyone for all the great messages this evening and asking for the recipe that I baked on the show. I was going to make it again this weekend so I could take better photos with my camera but here are some shots from my mobile when I was practicing before going on the show. I am a huge fan of cinnamon and when asked to do a tray bake recipe for the show I knew I wanted to use cinnamon. This cinnamon swirl cake definitely packs the cinnamon in. Hope you get a chance to check out the show, "Baking Mad with Eric Lanlard", it really is a great show to watch. I also hope you try out the recipe below.
