Delicious cake, a little plain though. Ever time i made it, it would be gone within a half an hour, so i turned it into a two layer cake and made a topping for it by making a third cake and crumbling it up mixing it with a stick of butter, a 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. It was just what the cake needed. It made it taste a thousand times better. Everyone raves about this, it was a huge hit at work! and very very simple.

Very tasty and simple to make. It's like a snickerdoodle, in cake form. I think that only unsalted butter should be used, though, because I used salted and it came out rather salty. :) The sweetness offset it, though. It was very sweet as well.

Very delicious for ingredients I already had around the house! The only change I made was I used all purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in place of the self-rising flour.

So easy! So good with coffee or hot tea! I bake it in a round cake pan and add a crumb topping (instead of sprinkling with sugar-cinnamon mix from the recipe) creating an almost coffee cake. Besides, it takes mins and I usually have everything in the pantry already.

This was very good. It's very easy to spice up if you have the spices on hand. Just add some allspice or pumpkin pie spice. Made a nice snack for my kids.

Very delish & easy. I put some tin fruit in the middle and cut back a bit on the butter. To clarify, I'm pretty sure that you put only the the butter, sugar and cinnamon in the pan to heat and then pour that mixture into the self raising flour.

Really very good! I'm suprised this doesn't have more reviews and 5 stars! Super easy and tasty. Only downside is it makes very little. Next time I will double the recipe. Thanks!

This cake is wonderful. We were craving sweets and didn't have any eggs! It saved the day! I'm sure it will be a favorite on my list from now on!

This cake was awesome. I loved it. Although I'm not too good at cooking, this cake was simple and delicious. I accidentally created a topping for it, when i tried to take it out of the pan, half of the bottom fell off :O oops! insted of tossing it, I mixed it in with the butter, cinnamon, sugar topping and made a kind of paste! It was delicious, It made the cake even more moist! I recommend this one for anyone!

Well, I must have done something wrong! The cake tasted good, but it took longer than 20 minutes for mine to bake. When I thought it was ready, the center plopped out. I had to scoop it back in and rebake. I'll probably try it again, but I'll bake it for 30 minutes instead of 20 and use less sugar on top.

I added a little allspice and it tasted very good but the middle cooked very slowly. I baked it for about 30 min. It was the right moistness but was rather crumbly and the slice fell apart.

I made this as a morning snack for my 2 y/o. we were out of eggs she ate the last 2 for breakfast. i didnt have a 6in pan. I think my cake pan is 9in. it was quick to make, I added a cap-full of vanilla, and a little brown sugar in place of some of the white sugar in the batter. I also only used about half of the last topping.

Very good! The first time I made it I followed the recipe exactly, and it was perfect! The second time I added cinnamon to batter (because I am a cinnamon lover:), but it didn't turn out as I had hoped. I wouldn't recommend the adding it.

This was delish - tender, moist and very sweet! I baked it in a loaf pan so I had to bake it a little longer (about 30 min) but it came out great!!!

I've made this recipe since I was a kid. It's very easy and very tasty. I use a little bundt pan and make sure to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture in. It makes it look a little prettier.

It is simple to make, and the texture and taste is wonderful.I added about a teaspoon of vanilla. The second time around I used a fat free margarine, and amazingly enough it turned out just as good. My family loves it, and it's perfect for afterschool or an early morning send off. I don't know how it tastes the next day because it never lasts long enough to find out! Great recipe!

This is a wonderful recipe! I am very happy with how mine has turned out both times I have made it, and I will continue to use it in the future when I am feeling a little indulgent.
