Instructions
For the cinnamon swirl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the Cake Loaf
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg and granulated sugar together until combined.
Whisk in the oil, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Pour and spread half of the batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly on top.
Carefully pour and spread remaining batter evenly on top. The top layer of batter will stick to the cinnamon sugar filling, so spread very carefully.
Using a knife, make a large swirl down the loaf pan, as shown in the video tutorial below. Avoid over-swirling, which will mix the layers together too much.
Make the streusel topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand and clumps together.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of your bread.
Bake at 350°F for 50-65 minutes, until cooked through, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to prevent the top from over-browning.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for 1 hour. After that, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool directly on a wire rack.
Vanilla Glaze
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk all the glaze ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle on top of cake loaf.
