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 :)

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.
