This week's TWD pick, Cinnamon Squares, belongs to Tracey, one of my favorite bloggers. She's always posting such yummy creations on her blog,
Tracey's Culinary Adventures, and she's a very dedicated commenter. This cake came together really fast and I would definitely file it under my repeat category just because it's so darn simple to put together. I left off the chocolate frosting because that seemed like a little much for me; instead, I dusted it with powdered sugar and cinnamon. The verdict: this is great with a cup of coffee, that's how I sampled it this morning. Now, if you'll excuse me, I just returned to the nation's capital after a road trip from Texas and I can't find anything because everything's a mess!

This looks great with powdered sugar! I thought the frosting was nice but you're right--I had no illusions that I could eat it for breakfast.
Way more reasonnable to sprinkle it with powdered sugar that lather it in chocolate ganache... humm... especially first thing in the morning! LOL
Very nice!
Welcome home! Your square looks wonderful. I love the powdered sugar.
I like the powdered sugar. I made mine into a loaf and it just wasn't right for frosting.
I agree. Cinnamon squares are a great breakfast item. I'll definitely serve this when I have guests over for brunch. Well done!
Oh i love the powdered sugar on top! looks delicious. I'm gonna have to make this one.
Thanks for baking with me this week and thanks for the kind words :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the cake. Welcome home!
Short and to the point! Way to post! I hope you get everything back to normal ASAP. The cake looks really nice and the powdered sugar on top looks very pretty.
What a pretty backdrop in your pictures! Your squares look great with the powdered sugar on top. I'm glad you liked them!
Welcome back! This cake can definitely stand on it's own without the frosting. Powdered sugar is a great idea. I would love to try it with some streusel too.
Welcome back! I'm sure your family will miss having you cook; you put a lot of great recipes up here while you were on vacation. It hadn't occurred to me to use powder sugar for the topping; it is such a flavorful cake you don't really need the chocolate (it was super-good, though).
Your Cinnamon Squares look yummy! The cinnamon powdered sugar sounds like a really tasty topping too!
i like the powdered sugar and cinnamon idea instead of the chocolate frosting. welcome back, hope you had a great road trip!
Oooo Jess that looks amazing...you are such a talent I tell ya! makes me wish I were a boy so I coiuld make you fall in love with me and I could spend my life getting fat by your side... :)
This is the first one I have seen dressed in powdered sugar. What a great alternative to the frosting.
Great looking squares !! I love the sugar dusting !!
OH! What a good idea with the powdered sugar and cinnamon for the top. I thought the chocolate frosting was a bit much so this is a nice alternative! Welcome home!
I really like the powdered sugar top - these looke soooo tasty!
We liked this one just as well without the frosting as with it, maybe even better! Welcome back; I know long road trips are disorienting, even if fun.
Nice idea for the toppping.
Powdered sugar was a nice change from the frosting. I really liked this too!
Simple and tasty is always a plus!
The powdered sugar looks really nice. I think I would have preferred it to the chocolate.
I like the powdered sugar version, I think I will have to try that when I get a chance to catch up on this recipe. Getting back from vacay is hard right. 750+ in my google reader!
I don't know which is prettier...your cake, or your plate, or your background. The cake. No, the plate. No, definitely the cake! I love the idea of using the powdered sugar and calling this breakfast.
Welcome back! How were the bagels?
Powdered sugar is a great idea. I liked the cake a lot, but would have preferred it without the frosting. I hope things are settling down after your trip.
