“Great Christmas morning treat!! Or for special occasions. Rachel never disappoints. Very moist and buttery. Next time I will add chopped pecans into the cinnamon mixture because we love nuts. I would only drizzle the icing to cut down a bit on the sweetn” — a cook, 5.0★
“While this is delicious, the cook time is way off. It seems other reviewers have found this out too. And it’s not just differences in ovens. This has to be cooked an additional 20-30, up to an hour. Very deceptive.” — a cook, 4.0★
