Named after the boxer, Canelo, this cinnamon roll inspired cake is anything but healthy. As a wellness coach, it’s not the sort of thing I’d usually post but we all need treats sometimes and this is just too good not to share. It’s vegan, gluten free and totally delicious.

-Add the plain yoghurt, olive oil, vanilla extract and milk mixture to the large mixing bowl and combine all ingredients together.
