After reading the reviews for this recipe I was a little nervous about making it. It seemed as though people either absolutly loved or just outright hated it. But I was feeling adventurous and I personally love cinnamon so I thought I'd give it a go. One word, Fantastic. I did change a few things though. Instad of dumping all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing away, I combined the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately, then mixed the dry into the wet slowly. Then I took the advice from some other reviewers and doubled the topping and put half of it in the middle of the cake. Instead of using 2 tablespoons of white sugar, I just used one and added a tablespoon of brown sugar which worked very nicely. I baked my loaf in a glass pan so I had to add about 15 minutes to the baking time. The bread rose wonderfully and it had a beautiful crackly top. It was deliciously moist with a great cinnamon flavor- not bland at all like some other reviewers said. It reminded me of something I might buy in a coffee shop. Definately give this bread a try.

With small modifications, this is a great recipe. First of all, since it's a quick bread, you MUST mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. Do not beat the batter for three mintues; instead, mix the dry and wet ingredients lightly until the batter is just combined. Keep in mind that the struesel is not a topping...it sinks into the cake. I doubled the struesel (using brown sugar instead of white) and sprinkled some in the middle of the loaf. Also, consider using something bigger than a loaf pan, or else place a cookie sheet one rack lower than the loaf pan to catch the "drippings." Would probably be beautiful in a bundt pan.

Very easy to prepare, good results. I wish I had read the reviews and doubled the topping before I made the bread though. Needs a bit more cinnamon/swirls. I also used the milk/vinegar trick!
