Cinnamon Swirl Donut Bread {Pinterest Inspired}

My little Lydia and I both love to cook and bake.  We have so much fun when we're in the kitchen together.  So last Sunday, we decided we wanted to bake, and bake something yummy.  We turned to pinterest, of course, and a recipe I'd long ago pinned.  This Cinnamon Swirl Donut Bread was moist, soft, and so delicious.  The kids loved and I can see it becoming a favorite in our home.
