Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the cake, when it comes out clean it’s done.
Step 6: While the cake is still warm, remove it from the pan and using a fork poke holes around the top of the cake.
Step 7: Slowly pour the warm cinnamon syrup over the top of the cake, into holes, and sides of the cake.
