Vegan Cinnamon Loaf Cake

Say hello to my most requested recipe: Cinnamon Loaf Cake. It’s fluffy, sweet, and will make your house smell like the sweet scent of cinnamon!

How to make vegan buttermilk:

I used vegan buttermilk in this recipe to give this loaf cake a softer texture, and a layered flavour! Vegan buttermilk is made with two ingredients: plant-based milk and lemon juice. It is super simple to make! In this recipe, all you need to do is mix together 1 cup of plant-based milk (we used oat milk) and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl. Place the bowl in the fridge to set for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of this loaf cake recipe.
