This Cinnamon Swirl Cake recipe is a family favorite. I love to bake it as a snack whenever all my family is over and we are up late playing games and relaxing. The sweet cinnamon flavor brings a reminiscent feeling to me, reminding me of all the fun me and my family have together.
This decadent and easy recipe classically combines a sweet vanilla flavor with the warmth of cinnamon swirls all put together in a moist Bundt cake. It’s great when you want to whip up a quick fall dessert that can also be eaten as a snack or paired up with a cold glass of milk for breakfast. It will typically take 20 minutes to prepare and 40 minutes to bake.
Ingredients:
For the cake
- 2 cups flour
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup oil
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 cup sugar
For the cinnamon swirl
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp sugar
Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a large mixing bowl beat eggs until stiff peaks form.
- Add milk and oil, then beat for 2 more minutes.
- Add vanilla extract, sugar and baking powder, then beat for 2 additional minutes.
- Add flour and, again, beat for the last 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl combine melted butter with the cinnamon and sugar to create a cinnamon mixture.
- Pour half of the cake batter into a greased Bundt pan.
- Drizzle cinnamon mixture over the batter, making sure that there is a bit of cinnamon all around, then swirl in circular motions drawing the cinnamon, away from the original drizzle with a toothpick.
- Add in the rest of the cake batter and bake for 40 minutes, then stick a toothpick in the center of the cake, if the toothpick comes out clean then the cake is done, if there are still remnants on the toothpick, bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Invert and serve bundt cake after 30 minutes of cooling.
