Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
You can use coconut oil, margarine, or vegetable oil as a substitute for butter. If using oil, use about 1/4 cup less than the butter amount, since oil has a higher fat content.
How should I store leftover cinnamon cakes?
Store the cinnamon cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Make sure to let them cool completely before storing.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, try adding a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together without being overly sticky. Make sure not to add too much flour, as it may make the cakes dense.
