Several species of trees in the genus Cinnamon are harvested for their aromatic inner bark, which is then processed into cinnamon. There are countless sweet and savoury recipes, breakfast cereals, snack foods, teas, and traditional foods that benefit from cinnamon’s fragrant condiment and flavouring additive qualities. In addition to cinnamaldehyde, other components of cinnamon’s essential oil, such as eugenol, contribute to the spice’s distinctive scent and flavour.

Recipe
Cinnamon Cake
This cake is as uncomplicated as its name suggests. A cinnamon syrup glaze replaces traditional frosting, layers, and add-ins. I used butter instead of shortening and quadrupled the amount of cinnamon originally called for after modifying the recipe from all recipes. Without a doubt. That’s how the law is.
It’s lovely and airy.

Storing the cake
Now that we have told you about the process and which ingredients one requires to make the cake, there might be a possibility that you might make it in a large volume or there is some leftover cake. In such a scenario, one should know how to store it properly.
When stored properly (tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and left out at room temperature for 2 days), leftover cake slices will keep in excellent condition. If you need to keep it for a longer period, chill it, unwrap it, and return it to room temperature before serving.
Putting it in the freezer will make the shelf life even longer. Insulate the cake by wrapping it in aluminium foil and plastic freezer wrap. It has a shelf life of about 2 months if stored correctly. Remove from the freezer the night before serving and let it come to room temperature.

You can buy the ingredients mentioned online on food delivery apps like Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, etc., or in a nearby Kirana store.
