There are some things that grandmas do better than anyone else, a superpower that no one can touch. For my grandma, it was her knack for baking. She grew up on a farm where she milked cows and fed chickens. She knew the value of food, but also the joy. She loved to cook, but baking seemed to bring her the most joy. As a kid, I enjoyed plenty of her delicious sweets, but her cinnamon cake was one of my favorites.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Many of my grandmother’s baking recipes are simple and lean heavily on pantry staples. Limited ingredients didn\u2019t limit her creativity though. Instead, she found dozens of ways to measure, combine and bake the basics into everything from cookies to bread! I loved watching her use those superpowers in the kitchen. She moved with purpose, but also with love, tenderly weighing and scooping ingredients so that nothing was wasted. It\u2019s a beautiful memory that I try to channel with my baking too.\n<\/p>\n
Her cinnamon cake was a staple at all of our family get-togethers. It wasn\u2019t glamorous or fancy, but the spongy yellow cake with cinnamon-sugar topping was a favorite among the cousins. The recipe makes one, eight-inch cake, so she often made a few to feed her little crew. It was best when she served it warm, but we also loved it at room temperature, served with a bit of homemade whipped cream. It\u2019s cozy, delicious, and unpretentious. Here\u2019s how to make it.\n<\/p>\n
