1/2 tsp
ground cinnamon
12 tbsp
virgin coconut oil, melted (or vegetable oil)

*Cut It In Half: To make one 8-inch or 9-inch round cake, simply cut all of the ingredients in half and follow the same instructions. Baking time for an 8-inch cake should be at least 30 minutes; for a 9-inch cake at least 25 minutes.
