How to make a Cinnamon and Maple Syrup Cake
The cinnamon and maple syrup cake is really easy. First pre-heat the oven at 350°F (180°C) and grease a bread loaf pan, 8 x 5 inches. Secondly, put all dry ingredients (cinnamon, flour, baking powder, salt) into a bowl and set aside.
After, put into a mixing bowl the egg, the milk, the maple syrup, and the vegetable oil. Whisk all the ingredients carefully. Now it is time to add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

What is cinnamon
I know all of you know that cinnamon is a spice, but do you know that it comes from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum! Cinnamomum is a genus evergreen tree that belongs to the laurel family. That genus contains more than 300 species… and I thought that it was coming from just one specific tree. You can find these trees in the tropical regions and subtropical regions too. Also, did you know that it has health benefits too?
