It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a recipe on here. I think it’s because I despise cooking in the summer. My kitchen gets so hot and I get so crabby.
With the turn of the season, however, I’ve felt more of a desire to bake. I’ve also been feeling a need to eat a lot of comfort food, so I just had to bake this brown sugar and cinnamon swirl cake for a special weekend treat. My daughter said it was “the most fantastic amazing cake” she’s ever eaten. (Disclaimer: this statement was likely made only because I allowed her to eat it BEFORE dinner.) Not sure I’d go that far, but it was very good and a perfect taste of fall with its gooey, cinnamon and sugar flavor.
It also made my home smell divine while it was baking. I wish I could make the smell of this cake baking into a candle. (Business idea!)
A comforting cake blended with flavors of fall.

This looks amazing! I have been craving all things cinnamon lately, so I am thinking this needs to be in my oven immediately!
Bre says
Hi, Megan! Thank you! I have totally been craving cinnamon, too. It is so weird! YUM! If you make it, I hope you like it! Thanks for your note. π
Amanda says
Recipes like this is the reason I always seem to be out of butter! Can’t wait to make this!
Bre says
Hi, Amanda – hahahaha, I hear ya! I think I just need to keep butter as a permanent fixture on my grocery list. π Have a great day and thanks for your note!
Amy | Canary Street Crafts says
Oh my this looks soooo good, Bre! And I actually have all the ingredients on handβ¦seriously thinking about making this tomorrow!
Bre says
Hi, Amy! Oooh I hope you like it! I think that the next time I make it, I will put it in a 9×13 so the cake part is a little thinner, and I will double the “topping” portion because that is really the best part of it all! I hope you enjoy it!
Seana Turner says
I think I’d say it looks more than “good”… it looks like I want to crawl into the picture and smell it. I think the heavenly scent of baking cinnamon is worth the effort, even if you can’t eat it:) Right now I’ve got a daughter watching her weight and a husband trying to avoid sugar. I miss the good old days when I would get up and bake and everyone eagerly descended…. I need a bunch of high school boys or something!
Bre says
Hahaha, Seana, I feel your pain! My husband hardly ever eats sweets and my kids are so young they don’t eat a lot either, so baking isn’t always worth the effort. Maybe I should just start baking for others?! Thanks for your sweet note!
Deborah says
I saw your recipe on the Motivational Monday Link Up and so glad I did. This looks AMAZING! It looks like it’s just the perfect thing for FALL! I can’t wait to try it!

Sarah @ Little Red Brick House says
Oh my goodness, does this look delicious! Brown sugar and cinnamon are two of my all time favorite things.
Bre says
Thanks, Sarah!!! It was pretty tasty . . . I definitely ate more than I should have. The skinny jeans felt a little tight this morning.

Jamie @ anderson + grant says
This sounds amazing, Bre! And I love anything that will make my house smell good as it bakes! This is going to be something I’m going to have to try soon! Thanks for sharing.
Bre says
Hi, Jamie! Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it if you do make it. Have a great night!
Amy | Canary Street Crafts says
Bre- wanted to let you know I made this today! OMGGGGG! Soo yummy! I feel like I need to go run around the block a few times after eating it π but it’s seriously worth it! I took your advice and baked it in a 9×13 with a little extra topping. So good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Bre says
Hey, lady! Oh yeah, I am SO glad you liked it!! I know it kinda gives you a sugar rush, but it’s worth it I think! Thanks so much for letting me know you liked it!! π
