CINNAMON SWIRL CAKE
Today, I’m going to shine the spotlight on this cinnamon recipe. It will fill your home with its warm scent as you bake this simple CINNAMON SWIRL CAKE. The best way to describe the amazing flavor is to compare it to a warm cinnamon roll. I’ve always loved cinnamon, and this homemade loaf is truly a cinnamon lover’s dream come true.
The process for making this recipe is quite simple. The result is a soft, buttery cake with a cinnamon-sugar swirl that adds just the right amount of sweetness and spice.
The first step is to make the cinnamon mixture. In a bowl add melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, add the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. Then, add the sifted all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and melted butter. Whisk until combined.
Pour half of the cake batter into your prepared baking pan Add the cinnamon mixture on top, then pour the remaining batter over it. Use a table knife or toothpick to swirl it into the batter. I topped it with some chopped pecans; however, this is optional.
Bake for 45-50 minutes in a preheated oven. Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
