Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday,” also called Shrove Tuesday. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the start of Christian Lent season leading up to Easter. During Lent, many Christians fast, and the name Fat Tuesday refers to the last day of eating richer foods before the leaner days of Lent begin.
Many of my friends love to share desserts to celebrate Mardi Gras. Cinnamon Cake Loaf is one of my favorite treats so I decided it was time to share this sweet and delicious recipe with you.
