This wine and cinnamon cake is weird, in a good way, though. I have never had another cake like it. It’s light, super moist and very, very flavorful. It’s a bit spicy thanks to the cinnamon and brown sugar, and the crispy sugar-glaze coating is extra fabulous. 
Thanks to the sugary glaze, it can be a little tricky to get out of the pan (mine stuck just a little, as you can see in the picture) but you won’t care one little bit.
