This vegan cinnamon cake is moist, fluffy, and so easy to make! What's a cinnamon cake, you ask? It's basically a vanilla cake with cinnamon swirls. Cinnamon cake was also my favorite birthday treat when I was a kid - and this vegan version is even more delicious! Enjoy on it's own or topped with mouthwatering 3-ingredient vegan cream cheese icing!
2cupall purpose flour or gluten free all purpose flourIf gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

Instructions
Cinnamon Cake Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
In a large mixing bowl, mix almond or oat milk, melted butter, vanilla, maple syrup, baking soda, and baking powder together.
Then, mix in flour. Finally, pour cinnamon on top of the batter and use a knife to swirl it 2 or 3 times. Pour the batter into a 9x5 loaf pan or any other cake pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until the loaf is golden. You will need less time if you bake it in a shallow cake pan.
While the cake is baking, prepare your vegan cream cheese frosting by using a hand mixer to mix all of the ingredients together.
Let the cake cool for about 5 or 10 minutes and then spread the frosting over the top. Enjoy!
