Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix, as this could result in a tough loaf.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to make the cinnamon-sugar topping.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the batter.
Pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out gently with a spatula. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon loaf!
