Ingredients
  

For the batter

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup salted butter to be browned
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup Greek yogurt room temperature
  • 0.5 cup sourdough discard or 1/2 cup extra Greek yogurt
  • 2 pcs eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the cinnamon swirl

  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

For the cream cheese filling

  • 6 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp milk to achieve desired consistency

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour mini bundt pans or line a loaf pan.
  • To make brown butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat for about 5-8 minutes. Allow it to cool.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk the brown butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Add the sourdough discard, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix well.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Swirl and Assemble

  • In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  • For the bundts: Fill the pans 1/3 full with the batter. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top, then add more batter to fill the pans.
  • For a loaf: Layer half of the batter, sprinkle with cinnamon, and cover with the remaining batter.

Baking

  • Bake mini bundts for 15-20 minutes, or the loaf for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • While the cakes cool, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
  • Once the cakes are cool, fill the bundts with the cream cheese filling. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving. Adjust the amount of cinnamon in the swirl to your taste, and consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
