Tracey of Tracey's Culinary Adventures choses Cinnamon Squares this week. What a great recipe to ease back into TWD after a month off! It was made and out of the oven while Oscar was sleeping.I was a little hesitant intially at just how much cinnamon was in them. Although being called 'Cinnamon' Squares that is just what you would expect! I made them exactly as per the recipes and had no problems with it being dry as some others did.
The taste test ...
I was a little 'meh' at the first tasting although my other taste testers gave enthusiastic thumbs up. However I had a second taste the next day straight out of the fridge and loved it! Somehow all the flavours had melded and mellowed. The chocolate icing was fabulous. I do think I should have cut it into 12 or even 16 squares rather than 9 as it was incredibly rich!Thanks for a great pick Tracey! You can find the recipe on her blog.
Very pretty! Love the swirl in the middle, and I'm glad you ended up liking them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for baking with me this week! Your squares look perfect! I'm with you - these were really rich.

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect swirl of cinnamon and chocolate! I'm glad you ended up liking them. I made the cappuccino and it was love at first bite!
ReplyDeleteou liked them - I never tried them next day, being unexcited on day 1. I cut mine into 18 for maximum coverage among my colleagues.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this worked out for you! It did smell Heavenly, but something went wrong with mine. Amazingly, my ribbon didn't sink LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad you came around to enjoying the cinnamon. Your photos are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI loved this one...it just kept getting better and better for me. Looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I felt the same about these, the first taste was kind of blah and then the next day I liked them more.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't refrigerate mine.
Wow, your Cinnamon Square cake looks super moist! I had a little bit of dryness. I did end up cutting the cake into 16 pieces though, the frosting really made the cake decadent!
ReplyDeletethe cinnamon was a bit much for me but i think i'm overly sensitive to it. your squares look perfect, very moist.
