C Is For Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Poundcake
I know, two food postings in a row. YUM!
Chocolate and Cinnamon together- even more YUM!
This post includes a recipe that I have to share because it's so easy and so good. My kids love it and in my opinion, you just can't go wrong combining Cinnamon and Chocolate.Amy, I know I tell you every day, but thanks for sharing this with me last summer. This is just one reason why my kids think you are so fabulous!
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups sugar (separating out 1/2 cup)
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 block of Baker's Semi-Sweet chocolate, grated
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups milk
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
Next:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray two loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl mix the reserved 1/2 cup sugar with the 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. Set aside.
- Into a large bowl sift flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 2 cups sugar.
- In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk and oil then add to flour mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into prepared loaf pans.
- Sprinkle half of the chocolate cinnamon sugar mixture into the pans. Pour the remaining batter into the pans then top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Using a skewer or knife swirl the batter around being careful to reach the bottom layer so that you will have a nice swirl pattern when sliced.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes checking with a toothpick because ovens vary.
