Social media influencer Aurélie, known for her account Maison et Poésie, has shared a simplified version of the popular cinnamon roll, designed to capture the taste of the sweet spiral without the time-consuming process of preparing and fermenting traditional brioche dough. Published by Femme Actuelle on November 7, 2026, the recipe focuses on accessibility, using a standard yogurt pot as the primary measuring unit to eliminate the need for scales. [1]

The 'cinnamon swirl cake' adapts the basic yogurt cake formula, a staple in French home baking, to incorporate autumnal flavors. The ingredients include one natural yogurt (125g), two pots of flour, one pot of sugar, half a pot of neutral oil, two eggs, half a packet of baking powder, vanilla, and salt. The distinctive cinnamon swirl is made from very soft butter, brown sugar or coconut flower sugar, and cinnamon. Bakers layer half the cake batter with the cinnamon mixture in a loaf pan, drawing patterns with a knife before baking at 170°C for 30 to 40 minutes. [1]
