This week’s Tuesdays With Dorie baking challenge is the recipe for Cinnamon Squares, chosen by Tracy of Tracy’s Culinary Adventures. I really liked this recipe because it called for everyday ingredients and basic staples… making it easy to have a homemade cake at any time. The cake itself involves a buttery cinnamon batter, chocolate chips dusted with cinnamon espresso sugar and topped with more batter before baking. If that wasn’t enough, the cake is finished off with a bittersweet chocolate frosting.
Rather than making the cake in an 8″x8″ pan, I opted to use my jumbo cupcake/muffin pan to make individual cakes. The recipe was perfect to yield 6 jumbo cupcakes. In the process of carefully removing the cupcakes from the pan, a few of the bottoms stuck to the pan so I decided to served them “bottoms up” (that way I could frost the cracks and hide the imperfections!) Served with some homemade whipped cream, it was a perfect ending to dinner!
I love it! 🙂 They’re so cute!!
So adorable! I think it was a really cute idea to serve them upside down, too. Lovely!
What a great solution to the dreaded cracking! I love how they look with the bottoms iced!
They look so fancy upside down! I’m in love with this idea!
Your Cinnamon Square jumbo muffins look really dressed up! My mom would love yours since the frosting is all over! =)
What a spectacular idea! Perfect portions without messing up any frosting!
p.s. i think you spelled Tracey's name wrong
wow, love your individual servings!
