Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake

Admittedly, I’m not a baker, nor do I attempt to be (ok, once in a while). So when Jocelyn of Grandbaby Cakes sent me her newly released book, I was relieved to find the book was full of cake recipes that were friendly to people of all levels. That includes beginners like me.

Cinnamon Roll Bundt Cake | Real Food by Dad

The book is a collection of recipes that Jocelyn has created along with recipes that are an homage to her southern influences. Recipes like her Pineapple Upside-Down Hummingbird Pound Cake that fuse two southern classics.  Her Peach Cobbler Shortcake is her modern spin on a southern classic peach cobbler that’s dressed up with “spiced peaches and syrup, crunchy brown sugar crumble, a decadent caramel sauce and fluffy whipped cream”. But make no mistake, the book contains more than just southern classics with a modern edge. There’s also the S’mores Lava Cake that I’ve flagged for Naomi to make. I know it’s going to be a family favorite—who can deny a gooey chocolate cake with toasted marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs?
