Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Make-Ahead: This cake can be baked a day in advance; simply warm individual slices in the microwave for 10 seconds to restore the soft texture. For a crunchier topping, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the cinnamon swirl mixture.
