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

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and liquids: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Layer batter and cinnamon sugar: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, then sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter.
  7. Add remaining batter and topping: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  8. Swirl for marbling: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar layers to create a marbled look throughout the bread.
  9. Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure ingredients like butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing results.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Use a toothpick test to check for doneness; if it comes out with wet batter, the bread needs more time.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
