Cinnamon Crazy Cake
Description
This cake mixes common baking ingredients including flour, sugar, baking soda, and a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and ginger to create a warmly spiced batter. The wet ingredients—canola oil, distilled white vinegar, vanilla extract, and cold water—are added directly to the dry mix, a technique that simplifies preparation and helps achieve a tender crumb while keeping the cake moist without eggs or dairy.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, the cake is tested with a toothpick to ensure doneness. Once cooled, it is topped with a cream cheese frosting made by beating softened cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar together, then spread evenly over the cake. A sprinkle of cinnamon on top enhances the spice profile. The cake is chilled overnight to set the frosting and deepen flavors.
This cinnamon-spiced cake makes a good choice for those seeking an egg-free dessert with classic comfort flavors. It pairs well with tea or coffee and can be served at room temperature after chilling.
