Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted and cooled)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Cinnamon-Chocolate Swirl & Topping:

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate (slightly cooled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut oil, milk, white and brown sugars, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
    In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  3. Make the Cinnamon-Chocolate Mix:
    In a small bowl, combine white sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, flour, and salt. Stir in the melted, slightly cooled chocolate until well blended.
  4. Layer the Batter and Filling:
    Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon-chocolate mixture over the batter, swirling gently with a knife or skewer. Pour the remaining batter on top and repeat with the rest of the cinnamon-chocolate mix, ensuring some remains visible on the surface for that crunchy top.
  5. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (the middle should remain slightly gooey).
  6. Cool and Slice:
    Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
