I needed something sweet quite urgently this time. Good to know that the need for sweets can be satisfied without going to the supermarket or a bakery. All you need is a quick bread like this one here with loads of cinnamon aka. a Cinnamon Swirl (Quick) Bread.

If your friends or family are surprising you with a visit on the weekend, you might want to serve them something besides the half eaten bag of chips you found in the kitchen cabinet.

A quick bread like this one is definitely an option to serve something delicious you can prepare easily with not much effort at home. If you are baking or cooking at home, you might have all the ingredients at home anyway.

The Cinnamon Swirl (Quick) Bread is similar to the ones you can get in Coffee Shops – a loaf cake to make many people happy. The cake is best the day it is made but can be stored of course. Just wrap it well in aluminum foil or plastic wrap or use a Tupperware. If you leave it out on the counter it will dry out quite quickly.

Anyone looking to cut back on sugar and thereby save a few calories can make the glaze on top a little less thick and sweet, of course. Theoretically, you could also reduce the sugar in the cake batter itself by using a sugar substitute. Xylitol is quite easy to use and effective for this purpose. Of course, that isn’t for everyone. Just a side note in case that’s something you are interested in…

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 23x13cm loaf tin* or line with baking parchment. Set aside.

2. Add the sugar and egg to a large bowl and mix until creamy. Add the vanilla extract, sour cream and milk and mix in. Mix the flour with baking powder and salt and add to the bowl, mix until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and set aside.

3. Melt the butter for the filling and mix it with the cinnamon and sugar. Drizzle on top of the batter and then lightly mix with the batter. Place in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down in the pan for some time, then remove it and let it cool down completely on a wire rack.

4. For the glaze add the confectioners’ sugar to a small bowl and gradually add the heavy cream until you get a nice and thick glaze. Drizzle about half of the glaze on top of the bread and let it dry a bit. Add the ground cinnamon to the remaining glaze and mix, then drizzle as well over the bread. Let dry.

1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine 23x13cm Kastenform* leicht einfetten oder mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

2. Den Zucker mit dem Ei in einer großen Schüssel cremig aufschlagen. Vanille Extrakt, Schmand und Milch dazugeben und unterrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und unterrühren. Den Teig in die Form füllen und zur Seite stellen.

3. Die Butter für die Füllung schmelzen und dann mit dem Zimt und Zucker verrühren. Die Mischung auf dem Teig verteilen und dann mit einem Löffel oder Messer nur kurz mit dem Teig vermischen. Die Form in den Ofen stellen und für etwa 45-50 Minuten backen. Mit einem Holzspieß testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt, und erst herausholen, wenn der Spieß sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und in der Form für einige Zeit abkühlen lassen, dann vorsichtig herauslösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

4. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker in eine kleine Schüssel geben und nach und nach die Sahne unterrühren, bis die Konsistenz passt – die Glasur sollte nicht zu dünnflüssig sein. Die Hälfte der Glasur über den Kuchen träufeln und etwas antrocknen lassen. Die restliche Glasur mit dem Zimt verrühren und dann ebenfalls auf dem Kuchen verteilen und antrocknen lassen.

    I made this quick bread for thanksgiving here in the States yesterday. Tonight we made french toast for dinner using the leftover bread and it was DElicious. I found your blog about a month ago and am very excited to try more of your recipes.

Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
