Bake up a cinn-sational treat with our recipe for Cinnamon Loaves. This cake-like bread recipe starts off with a box of cake mix, which makes it even easier to bake this cinnamon-flavored dessert bread whenever you get the cravings!
What You'll Need
- 1 (15-1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 2 (8- x 4-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray and dust with flour.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla 3 minutes. Pour half the batter evenly into loaf pans.
- In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half the mixture evenly over batter in loaf pans. Distribute remaining batter evenly between loaf pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Gently swirl with a knife.
- Bake 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks.
Notes
- Follow these directions to make five mini gift loaves: Pour half the batter evenly into five greased and floured 3-1/4- x 5-3/4-inch disposable loaf pans. Sprinkle evenly with half of sugar mixture. Pour remaining batter into pans; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Gently swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- These can be stored in the freezer.

Call it cake or call it bread, this is delicious. (My Aunt Maxine always called hybrids like this tea loaves.) For a yummy reduced fat version, eliminate 1/2 cup of oil 1/4 cup of water substitute in 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. Warm, cold, or room temperature - hard to beat with a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

Yes, please! This is definitely more of a cake than a bread, but that's a-ok with me. I loved every bite. It's perfect with a cup of hot tea in the morning!

This recipe sounds easy and delicious, and I like the idea of making 5 little gifts, but how do you adapt it now that cake mixes have been changed from 18.25 ounces to 15.25 ounces?
