Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a smooth base for the batter.
  4. Add Eggs and Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until everything is evenly combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding in gently until just combined. Take care not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  6. Layer Batter and Topping: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar over the batter.
  7. Add Remaining Batter and Topping: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  8. Swirl Batter: Use a knife to gently swirl the batter, creating a marbled cinnamon sugar effect throughout the bread.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully baked.
  10. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and will result in a more tender bread.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
