Christina worked at Momofuku and she challenged herself to create a standout dessert. Milk Bar is the sister bakery of David Chang’s Momofuku restaurant group. She is also said to carry around cookie dough and desserts in her pocket, so of course I immediately developed a girl crush on her! She is a woman after my own sweet tooth! To give you a quick run down, Christina Tosi is the badass lady chef that founded the popular Milk Bar. To take such an aha moment with cereal and turn it into an empire is what dreams are made of. The passion and dedication she has for her craft is incredible. Christina Tosi is a girl boss in every way and she inspires budding chefs like me to the core.

I have been wanting to do a cereal infused dessert ever since I binge watched A Chef’s Table on Netflix. And there is something about Cinnamon Toast Crunch that is creamy, crunchy, sweet and toasty all at the same time And when I take a bite, to this day, I am brought back to my childhood love for this cereal. As I mentioned in my Chai Cinnamon Rolls and Coconut Milk Cinnamon Rolls, I have a serious Cinnamon obsession. I have always been a cinnamon sugar obsessed Gal. That was the “fun” cereal that my Mom let us get once in awhile between all of Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran. If you are anything like me, I grew up loving Cinnamon Toast Crunch. This is the perfect cake for cinnamon lovers for Easter brunch or anytime a cinnamon craving hits! And if you love Milkbar and Christina Tosi, then you will have so much fun making this cake! Each component of the cake includes cinnamon toast crunch in some way. This cake is buttery, with soft and flavorful cake and crunchy, cinnamon layers. Then a crunchy, buttery, cinnamon toast crunch streusel topping finishes it off. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cake begins with a tender, cereal infused vanilla cake which is filled with a rich brown sugar, cereal, and cinnamon mixture.
