Notes

Cinnamon Streusel Cake is family fav
Special to The Baltimore Sun
By Julie Rothman

--

Marcy Busse of McHenry, Ill., was looking for a recipe for a cinnamon bundt cake.

Dukey Marr of Phoenix, Md., sent in her "decades old" recipe for Cinnamon Streusel Cake, which can be made as a bundt cake. She says her husband, children and grandchildren all love this cake and it always disappears quickly at her house. She most often makes it using a lemon-cake mix for the base, although any of the others are good, too.

Marr suggests that if you intend to serve this as a coffeecake, omit the glaze -- it makes it too sweet. I tested her recipe with a lemon-cake mix I happened to have in the house and the glaze. We did not find it to be overly sweet. The preparation is simple and fast and the result was a beautiful, moist and tasty cake.
