Conference Goodies

I've been wanting to make  this cake for a little while, its a cinnamon swirl cake.  So, in keeping with the tradition of treats for general conference, I decided to make it today, between sessions.  That's' as good an excuse as any, right?

So, first I dumped all the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.  That's easy enough.

After thoroughly stirring all the dry ingredients, in went the wet ingredients.

Then it all got mixed up.  The happy thing about that is that someone has to lick the beaters and since there were no kids around to do it, I had to.

Next came the cinnamon mix that was to get swirled into the cake batter.  This is a good thing.  I really like cinnamon rolls and this cake promised to be all the yummy deliciousness with much less of the work of rolling and cutting.  So, again, everything got dumped together.

Then it all got mixed and stirred.

Once it was all in the pan and swirled together, it went into the oven.

Forty minutes later it came out, smelling, oh, so good.  A couple of people commented on how they thought it smelled just like cinnamon rolls.  That was promising.

Then it came out of the oven and got set aside to cool while we had dinner.  Alas, Himbeere got to it before I could get a picture of the finished cake, with the glaze on it.  But, take my word for it, turned out very good.  We might have to do this again!  This could become a family conference tradition!
