Cinnamon Swirl Loaf Cake

Elena Butuc

I'm coming up with a more interesting cake recipe suggestion, a nice treat for your family next weekend. The cake is fluffy, tasty and very aromatic - the whole house smells of cinnamon and butter. I'd even say it's a kind of quick sweetbread. The cinnamon layers look good in the section. It's mostly because of this that I made it and I'm glad it was a real success.

The only challenge is to stop eating :)

Sugar

200 g

+ 50g for the cinnamon

Vanilla Extract

1 tbsp

Egg

3 pieces

White flour

Baking soda

Step by step

Combine flour with baking powder and baking soda. Mix.

In a bowl, place the softened butter, 200g of sugar and vanilla - mix well.

Then add the eggs one by one, beat well with the mixer after each one.

Add half the amount of flour, stir.

Then comes the sour cream, mix well.

And, finally, the rest of the flour. Stir well so that there are no lumps, the cake batter is ready.

Now combine the cinnamon with 50g of sugar.

Line a loaf pan with parchment.

Ladle 1/3 of the batter into it and smooth out evenly. Sprinkle over with half of the amount of sugar with cinnamon.

Pour another 1/3 of the batter into the pan, smooth out carefully.

Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon with sugar.

Then pour over the remaining batter, smooth out.

My tray was a bit more than half full and I was afraid the cake wouldn't get high enough. But it rose very nicely, so make sure to leave room in the tray to rise.
