Serves: 8

Ingredients

• Dry mix (whisk together)
• 360 gram all-purpose flour
• 180 gram sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Wet mix (whisk together)
• 3 eggs
• 120 ml vegetable oil
• 300 gram plain yoghurt
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cinnamon sugar butter mix (stir together)
• 60 gram unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon powder
• 150 gram brown sugar (dark/light is okay)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180 Celsius (350 Fahrenheit). Line a 9"x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease and flour.
2. Make a well in the dry ingredient mix, then pour in wet ingredient mix. Fold with a spatula until just combined.
3. Pour 1/4 batter to prepared pan, then with dollops of cinnamon mixture (1/3 total). Alternate again with 1/4 batter, 1/3 cinnamon mixture, 1/4 batter, 1/3 cinnamon mixture. At this point, swirl the batter with a chopstick/butter knife. Finally, top with the remaining 1/4 batter.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then take a piece of aluminum foil and tent the pan. Continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
5. Remove from oven and let the cake sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Gently remove the cake from the pan and let cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

• 1. It is better to line the loaf pan with parchment paper and make the paper hangs a bit out from the pan since it will really rise to fill the entire 9"x5" loaf pan. If your pan is slightly smaller, there is a possibility of spill during baking. Hence the hanging parchment paper is a better choice to help avoiding any spill.
• 2. You can turn this recipe into muffins. If you use the whole recipe, you will end up with 18 standard size muffins. If you only want 12 standard size muffins since it's easier that way, be sure to scale the recipe to 2/3. You only need to fill each muffin cup halfway. Also, bake in the same temperature (180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes.
