Cinnamon Sugar Loaf Cake

What is it about the combination of cinnamon and sugar that makes all things incredible? Bake up this delicious Cinnamon Sugar Loaf Cake – it reminds me of crispy churros dusted in light cinnamon sugar, without the greasy deep frying!

Quick breads are one of my favorite things to bake for two reasons: they are just like their name – super quick to make & they make great gifts! So when brainstorming ideas for a new quick bread, I remembered that after cleaning my spice cabinet I had about four bottles of ground cinnamon and needed to start using it. That’s how this Cinnamon Sugar Loaf Cake came about – plus my love for anything with the spiced sugary blend tends to be my favorite!

You see that crispy top layer? It’s the result of layering extra cinnamon sugar and swirling it over the top with a knife – this bread is moist in the center with a crunchy sugar topping – but also includes a swirl of spiced sugar in the center, for extra deliciousness!

The recipe calls for buttermilk, but if you don’t have any at home, just add the juice of a lemon or lime to the cup of milk – super simple and you’ll be baking up a loaf of this in no time. Better yet, why not double this recipe and freeze a loaf for later. Go forth and bake!
