Cozy Cake

There are those cakes that are light and fun.  These cakes play with your palate.  Then you have the cake that in its essence, it is warm and inviting like a lit fireplace.  Such is the Cinnamon Vanilla Cake.  This cake makes one just sink into a restful place.  It is soothing and you can have it with a cup of tea, hot chocolate or gourmet coffee.  This cake is the perfect "Fall/Winter" like cake but of course you can enjoy it anytime of the year.  Other cakes that fits this description is the Red Velvet Cake, and Carrot Cake.  I call these type of cakes "rustic cakes", it takes you back to a homey and comfortable place. The first cake is a birthday cake that my Sister and friend ordered and it was smelling so good, I had to make one for the family.
