I'm not sure what it is about this recipe that is just not there for me. I love the idea of this bread. I wanted it to work out so badly that I made 2 batches. The first one I prepared as the recipe directed and it was very blah. The bread part does not have much flavor at all and the cinnamon/sugar mixture needed something. The 2nd batch I made I added a big splash of vanilla to the batter and to the cinnamon/sugar mixture, I added brown sugar. For the milk part I used whole milk and then half n half. I figured that the richness of the half n half would add more flavor or depth. This improved things some but the cake part just does not have that much flavor still. But wow, did my kitchen ever smell good while I was baking this bread! Maybe I will have to play around some more with the recipe. I would love to find the perfect combination of ingredients to make a similar bread. The texture of this bread could use some improvement also. I think I prefer a finer crumb - maybe I could use cake flour or maybe sift the ingredients? Anyways, the best part about this bread other than the smell is that it is SO quick to put together. From the moment I walked in the kitchen, I had it prepared and in the oven baking in 15 minutes. Very fast preparation! I made it in mini loaf pans and with 2 recipes completed, it only produced 5 mini loaf pans! That's not much for a double recipe.
