Today I’m sharing with you another yummy, caramel-y, cinnamon-y, gooey cake appropriately named “Cinnamon Pudding Cake” from Lauren Chattman’s ‘Cake Keeper Cakes’.  This is a very good cake, but more like a spice cake with a caramel topping.  I did not double the topping, but I definitely believe that it is a must for the next time that I make it to either pool on a plate or to pass around to guests who would like more topping.  This cake is best served warm with vanilla ice cream on the side!
