TURKISH CINNAMON CAKE

TURKISH CINNAMON CAKE

Turkish Cinnamon cake is actually walnut raisin butter cake. I got this cake recipe from my Singapore aunt. However, it is a little crumbly when I cut the cake and dry. Maybe next time I would add in some milk. Overall, it is a nice cake to be share during teatime or Christmas.
