About This Recipe
- This Cinnamon Coffee Loaf is an absolutely perfect treat to put on your afternoon coffee table.
- All the ingredients are easy to prepare, and no fancy item is required.
- This loaf is called the cinnamon loaf; however, this recipe uses a mix of cinnamon and cardamom. These two ingredients add a ton of flavor to this recipe.
- This recipe calls for the essential ingredients to bake a cake or loaf, such as flour, egg, baking powder, and baking soda.
- One ingredient that I need to talk about is buttermilk. Buttermilk plays a significant role in making the final result moist and soft; also, it creates a good balance in the flavor.
- There are two kinds of sugar we need in this recipe. The cake uses granulated sugar, and we need ⅓ cup of brown sugar to mix with the spices to layer in the middle of the batter.
- The prominent flavor in this Cinnamon Coffee Loaf comes from butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom. You can eliminate the cardamom or substitute it with clove or nutmeg.
- This recipe calls for both butter and oil.
How To Make This Cinnamon Coffee Loaf
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- Beat the butter, oil, and granulated sugar for good two minutes. The mixture should look light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Beat well and make sure the egg is well incorporated.
- Add the flour mixture alternating with buttermilk, and start and finish with flour.
- Mix the cinnamon, cardamom, and brown sugar in a separate bowl.
- Line an 8X10 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Spread ⅓ of the batter at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle ⅓ of the cinnamon mixture over the batter.
- Drop large dollops of the cake batter over the cinnamon layer, and spread the batter with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Repeat the above two steps. Cover the top with the remaining batter. You can sprinkle the top with some cinnamon mixture or leave the top plain.
- To make that beautiful crack on top, dip the edge of a rubber spatula, and run it in the middle of the batter.
- Bake the loaf, let it cool down in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.
