  The reason why the instructions are left out is because when you click on the link to find the instructions, they get money from advertisers on their blog. If they put the entire recipe here, they get no money. It's all about the almighty dollar.

  The recipe says to cook for 30 minutes and most cakes bake at 325 to 350.... try 325 first and if it's not done, just add a couple of more minutes for the cake to be done.

  My recipe doesn’t call for cinnamon and it’s a TRUE Texas cake too. Try researching the recipe and you may find your recipe is unusual. How much cinnamon do you add to your cake? I’d certainly consider adding it to try it. This is also a recipe you could add coffee to but I haven’t done so...my handed-down recipe is pretty perfect!
