I realize I just shared a breakfast cake last week, but Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I thought I would give you options.

You could make last week’s Lemon Crumb Cake or today’s Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake. But why choose? Make both, I say!

Speaking of mothers….it’s happened. I’ve become my mother. Actually, I think I’ve become a senior citizen in general.

A couple days ago I found myself talking to the birds and squirrels. And whistling in the back yard as I filled my bird feeders. Who does that besides Mary Poppins?

Old people.

I have nothing against old people. I embrace this elderly side of myself. I just have to chuckle that this is where I am in life. Spending hours watching the birds and squirrels in my yard, while singing a happy tune.

But let’s face it…I’m going to make one heck of a grandmother one day! All the children of the world will want to come to my house for treats. And today’s Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake is one of those treats that screams “come spend time with granny!!”

For years I couldn’t get the perfect “release” on my bundt cakes. And I realized it has 99% to do with the pan. After purchasing this pan, no issues. EVER. I usually wipe it with a little crisco and sprinkle with flour, and voila…it releases EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. You can also use the baking spray that has flour in it, if you prefer. I’m always afraid that it will cause build up in my bundt pan and affect the non-stick aspect of the pan.

Don’t forget to make the cinnamon glaze. I made a very thin glaze, unlike some of my other “frostings.” Remember, you want to make sure that people accept this “cake” as breakfast, haha, so don’t overdo it on the frosting. Otherwise it will take some convincing!

Now, while you all are in the kitchen baking…I’m going to head outside to relax with my friends. Mr Squirrel and Mrs. Robin.
