In a small mixing bowl whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. With mixing speed on low, gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and the yogurt, mixing just until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX!
Pour batter into the prepared pan, place in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, rotating half way through (Note you may need to let it bake a few minutes longer, but at high altitude mine took 42 minutes). Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
