Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Gently stir until a thick, slightly lumpy batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the loaf is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the melted butter, dried parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Once the loaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the butter mixture over the top.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Cheddar Bay Biscuit Loaf as a side dish, snack, or appetizer!
