Last month I asked for help with Stockpile Recipes. I am running low on ideas, and quite frankly, wouldn’t mind trying some new recipes from the stockpile myself!
Several of you were good enough to email me stockpile recipes, but more are always welcome!
Today’s recipe is courtesy of MC
My grandmother made us this cake every week when my brother & I were kids. My girls, as well as my niece & nephew have grown up with this cake as well. While Crisco may not be in everyone’s pantry, it’s a must in mine.
Cinnamon Cake
Makes (3) 9″ round cakes
Pre-heat oven to 350 and grease 3 9″ round pans (disposable pans are fine)
3 cups plus 3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 tablespoons Crisco Shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
3 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Milk
4 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• Cream sugar and Crisco.
• Add in eggs, vanilla and milk beating until mixed.
• Add flour, salt and baking powder and mix until smooth.
Divide batter equally among the 3 pans and then set aside
Topping:
Beat together
1 1/2 cups Sugar
3/4 stick margarine
4 teaspoons Cinnamon
• Sprinkle equal portions on top of each pan of cake batter. It’s ok that you have clumps.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
These cakes freeze very well.

Can I put cinnamon in the batter so the cake is flavored too or do you think that would be too much cinnamon?
Thank you for sharing, MC.
The cinnamon topping will bake down into the cake so I wouldn’t add to the batter.
Thanks for the explanation. I cant wait to try your recipe. Finally one where I might have all the ingredients at home!
mmmm…sounds super yummy!
Yum – like a super coffee cake! Sounds delicious!!
Can you use butter instead of crisco? I have all the other ingredients on hand but the crisco. This sounds very yummy!
I’ve never made the butter substitute so I honestly can’t say if that would work and still have the same taste. It’s certainly worth a try.
Thank you I will have to try it.
MC this sounds amazing thank you so much for sharing!!
I do have a question though. Does this make (3) individual cakes? Or are you combining them at the end somehow and I am just not getting it. They sound almost like a crumb topping coffee cake yes?
TIA!! Awesome recipe!!
LOL!! Yes, this recipe makes 3 individual cakes.
Thank you!
Sounds good MC, thanks for sharing!
This recipe sures brings back memories of baking every Friday during summer vacation with my mom. Everything was from scratch and we did it all from cookies, to pies to cakes.
I was asked tonight, what new sweet of the week are we trying. I think this is it. Sounds great.
mmmmmmmmm, sounds so yummy, and easy! I think I’ll try this sometime this week.
This recipe sounds really yummy!
This sounds so good and really a simple recipe I think I will try Butter Frosting as my hubby will eat it, if it has that kind of frosting easier, lol . Thanks for the recipe I enjoy trying these each week.
Thanks for sharing!! This sounds YUMMY!!!
