Snickerdoodle Poke Cake

By srumbel

The kids love snickerdoodle cookies and I love coffee cakes. So I thought why not put the two of them together, poke it with holes and pour a delicious vanilla glaze on top. All that glaze seeps into the holes and makes it moist and delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness and spice to satisfy your sweet tooth. It's a simple cake to make and you most likely have all the ingredients on hand. We all loved this cake which goes perfectly with a cup of tea!

Swirl a knife through the batter.

Take a spoon handle and poke holes all over the cake; set aside.
