I call this double dose because it has a sweet cinnamon sugar filling and a crisp stresuel topping - two doses of cinnamon and brown sugar. This makes the cake extra decadent and delicious. It is a firmer cake, not as moist, but it needs to be to hold up well. Enjoy for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack with coffee or tea. It is especially good warm.
