Recipe: Cinnamon Dessert Bread

I love it when a "bread" requires no kneading, rising or proofing. That usually means it's a cake masquerading as breakfast! Call it what you like, this delicious recipe from kat is welcome on my table anytime.

i cannot bake. i can destroy even a boxed mix. i am not a baker.

but i was desperate for a sweet treat, & couldn't convince manlyman to get in the car in search of baked goodies for me. apparently spending the entire day pampering me wore him out. selfish beast. i scoured the internet found a recipe that looked easy enough. i decided to make a few substitutions, & gave it a go! it was amazing! here is my version:



cinnamon dessert bread
1/4c butter
1 1/3c sugar, divided
1 egg
2c all-purpose flour
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2tsp salt
1c vanilla soy creamer
2tsp apple cider vinegar
1tb cinnamon
preheat oven to 350
add vinegar to soy cream, & set aside
beat butter, 1c sugar, & egg
combine flour, soda, powder, & salt
add flour mixture, alternatively with curdled milk, to butter mixture
combine cinnamon & remaining sugar
pour half the batter into a greased loaf pan, sprinkle half the sugar mixture atop it, then the remaining batter, & finally the remaining sugar mixture
bake for 45-50 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean

(note - i use evaporated cane juice, not white sugar - i cannot vouch for the flavor using white.)

it was very rich; most likely due to using soy creamer rather than soy milk; so tasted more like a dessert than the breakfasty bread i'm sure it was meant to be. i am definitely going to make this again!
