Cinnamon Swirl Loaf is a quick, easy bake, and you have to make it. A plain Jane you may think, but this simple yet tasty Madeira style cake with its added sugary cinnamon turns it into a special little keeper. And if you are a beginner baker , you will be able to whip this up in no time. If you are into bakes with no cream or icing I would highly recommend it. I agree it will win no awards for looks, but once you have tasted it, you will make it again and again.

I tried this but my loaf pan was very small so managed to make two from this recipe. It was so moist
This does make a big loaf.
This turned out to be such a beautiful homely bake and the smell of cinnamon in the house was wonderful. I highly recommend this
