Cinnamon Flop Cake

I found this recipe for cinnamon flop cake (which is also called cinnamon brunch cake) on RecipeZaar and was drawn to it because of all the rave reviews and easyness of it, so I decided to make it. I admit the cake was super fast and easy to make but it just didn't have quite the texture I was hoping for (Maybe I mixed it too much, or not enough, or didn't add enough toppings...?). It was a bit on the dry side and it wasn't as fluffy as I would have preferred for a light brunch cake, but it still had a really nice cinnamon and brown sugar flavor combination.
The only changes I made to it was to add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to help the cake flavor complement the topping flavor. I'm still puzzled why it is called a "flop" cake (maybe because you just "flop" all the ingredients together into one bowl?) but try it for yourselves and see if you like it!
