Delicious cake, especially a day or two later. My husband thought is was wonderful. Next time I will just make half the icing.

Okay, Rebecca, I am completely obsessed with your recipes! This would happen on the night I vowed to eat a flax seed smoothie for dinner every night for the next month! Well, I guess I will be having some fabulous breakfasts and lunches instead!

I made this for my hubby’s b-day since he is a lover of all things snickerdoodle. The cake was not difficult to make, but did take some time. I agree there was a ton of frosting, but that is the idea with this cake I think (check out the picture, it speaks and says “frosting”). The cake itself was much more dense than I thought it would be, but had a great flavor. I agree it would make a nice bread all by itself. The frosting was delicious. The cake and frosting together were delectable. I will make this again, but only for special occasions as it is totally NOT on any New Year diet plan. Six and a half cubes of butter?! Dang. Worth it though.

This cake was amazing. I love cinnamon, so this might be my new favorite cake. I did have a bit of trouble icing the cake, it was very crumbly, but that was probably user error! :]

Made this up as cupcakes. The flavor was wonderful, distinctly cinnamon and vanilla, but still nice and light. The frosting was also tasty, but makes a huge amount. I made half a batch of it and still had a lot left over. Will definitely make this again. (Oh, I used a cupcake-keeper, and they stayed moist the whole 4 days that they lasted.)

It seems weird to say this, but maybe this was a bit too cinnamony. For cinnamon lovers though, it seems to be a super hit. I am super happy this was my first cake ever(hooray!) though. It was easy to make, split and frost. I am quite proud of the final product even if it isn’t to my tastes.

Very good recipe! Tastes pretty much like a snickerdoodle. The frosting makes a lot… I split the layers and frosted *very* generously and still had two cups left over. People didn’t eat all the frosting that was on the cake… which tells me I need to be slightly more reasonable next time. I will simply half the frosting next time!

The cake itself was delicious. Honestly, I could have cooked it in a loaf pan and eaten it by itself and been happy. The icing was good as well, but pushed it just a little over the top for me. I did like the nice texture it had, due to the brown sugar. Overall, I would make it again.

This was lovely and really tastes like a snickerdoodle, so if you like snickerdoodles, you’ll like this cake. I took it to a party and it went over very well with kids and adults. I was a little skeptical of the brown sugar frosting — it has a tiny bit of crunchiness to it which sounds a little odd, but works perfectly on the cake to give it that little cinnamon sugar crunch like the outside of a snickerdoodle. I cut the butter and liquid in the frosting, added a little vanilla and didn’t split my layers, just used the two, and it was really nice. I learned when I was comparing that it’s the same as a recipe on another blog, but whoever came up with it did a nice job! I’ll be making it again.

My son loves snickerdoodles so I’m planning to make this for his birthday cake this week! Thanks for the recipe.
