Back to the scale...

If you don't mind weighing ingredients - here's a recipe for you. Not a fan? Move on. Things that annoy me.. 60 grams of flour but teaspoons and tablespoons. All or nothing folks... come on! This recipe was easy enough and made the house smell amazing! A-MAZING. I made it the day before Thanksgiving as a Thanksgiving breakfast morning treat. It's possible I struggled to get it out of the pan and we had to snack on the part that came off... it was worth it. It was delicious. Loved the half and half vanilla and cinnamon cake - add some cream cheese glaze on top - yep - perfect to start a day of over indulging. Now back to Cheerios...
Also I don't actually mind weighing ingredients but I kind of suck at it. Oh... 60? Ok 63 is close... 50? 58 oops... poured too much oil in there - it'll be fine.. I mean it was... but maybe I should be better at that... maybe.

¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ tablespoon ground cinnamon
CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
35 g powdered sugar

STREUSEL

60 g all-purpose flour,50 g dark brown sugar,½ teaspoon cinnamon,40 g butter
CINNAMON SWIRL LOAF CAKE
Preheat the oven at 350ºF conventional oven and grease a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set it aside.
Add the granulated sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, and mix it together on high speed for 3 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs one at a time into the mixture and on medium speed mix it in until combined.
Continue by adding ½ of the flour mixture on low speed. Then add the sour cream, oil and vanilla extract and mix it in. Then add the other half of the flour mixture and give it a final mix until just combined. Scape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all the ingredients have been incorporated.
Add ½ of the batter into a separate bowl and add the cinnamon. Gently fold it together with a rubber spatula until combined.
Alternate by adding a bit of each of the two batters into the prepared pan and with a butter knife swirl the two batters together. Then add the streusel on top.
Bake it for 60-65 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a cooling rack. After 10 minutes, gently remove the cake from the cake tin and let it cool down completely.
In a mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients and mix it together until smooth. Add the glaze over the loaf when ready to serve. If you add the cream cheese glaze long before serving the streusel will become softer.
