Ingredients

1 cup non dairy milk such as almond or soy
1 tsp vinegar (( apple cider vinegar or white))
1/3 cup sugar (1 tbsp more for sweeter)
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
a few drops of almond extract (optional but wonderful)
a good pinch of turmeric (for color optional)
2 cups of flour (( I use all unbleached all purpose, or a combination of all purpose and wheat))
1 tbsp cornstarch ( (optional))
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar (light brown sugar or a mix of brown and regular)
1.25 tsp cinnamon
pinch of cardamom (or chai spice or ginger or orange zest for variation)

Steps

1
Prepare a loaf pan ( 9 by 5 inch) by lining with parchment or greasing. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F ( 180 deg C).
2
Mix the non dairy milk and vinegar and let sit for 2 mins. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients and whisk well to combine. Sugar should be well combined.
3
Add 1 3/4 cup flour*, starch, baking powder, baking soda and salt (through a sieve or mixed in another bowl). Whisk well to combine. Add in the rest of the flour 1 tbsp at a time, if needed. The mixture should be a flowy but just slighty stiff (depends on the flours used). You can also in some spices into the flour for other flavors.(*If using whole grain flour, start with 1 3/4 cup flour. You might not need more).
4
In a small bowl mix the cinnamon, sugar and a good pinch of salt. Press down with a spoon and mix until the cinnamon is mixed in.
5
Add half of the batter to a prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture on the batter. Pour the rest of the batter and even it out. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture on top. Use a knife to swirl in lightly throughout the batter. Spray oil on top to seal in the cinnamon mixture
6
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes (depends on the pan and oven) Check from the center at 45 mins and continue baking till the toothpick comes out completely clean.
7
Cool on the counter for 10 mins then remove from the pan and continue to cool completely before slicing. Slice and Store on the counter for upto 2 days and refrigerated for upto a week. Slices can also be frozen. Add an icing for dessert.
