CINNAMON LOVERS' CINNAMON-WALNUT CAKE
This cinnamon roll-flavored cake is pretty easy+fast to whip together and smells (and tastes) fantastic! This was one of my first attempts making (any) frosted cake from scratch and it turned out great. After making cinnamon rolls/challah/cookies for my boyfriend (who has an unnatural affinity for the spice!), I thought, "why not cake?" Note: feel free to play around with the cinnamon/extract quantities-- I think I actually ended up putting a lot more than what I listed in the recipe, so adjust to taste. I included cinnamon extract as well as the spice, since it is stronger. I added a tiny bit of food coloring to it as well, to make it a very light brown/peach color.

Steps:
- Grease and flour 2 round cake pans.

- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until completely mixed. Slowly beat in the two eggs and yogurt. Add the spices and vanilla/cinnamon extracts. Stir well.
- Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the flour, alternating with the milk. Whisk until smooth, there should be no lumps.
- Pour into the prepared pans, and bake 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Set on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes or until completely cooled.Invert out of the pans.
- Place one cake on a serving dish.
- Stir the entire frosting container a few times, then mix in the cinnamon and cinnamon extract. In a different container, set aside enough frosting to fill between the cake layers (about 1/2 a cup, maybe?).
- In the this filling layer container, stir in the maple extract and crushed walnuts. Spread this filling layer over the top of the first cake. Place the second cake on top of the first, and cover with the remainder of the frosting.
- Optional: garnish with cinnamon and toasted walnuts, press the crushed almonds against the sides of the cake. Keep refrigerated.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a moist and fluffy cake, use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will give the cake a sweeter flavor.
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the batter from curdling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
