Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 115 g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 240 ml milk
- 1 egg, large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 70 g brown sugar, packed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a standard loaf pan (approx. 9 x 5 inches).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender loaf.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon-sugar ribbon.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
Layer the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter and cinnamon-sugar ribbon together. Avoid over-swirling to keep distinct cinnamon ribbons.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
