Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 Large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (for the cinnamon swirl)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for the cinnamon swirl)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)
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, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer and gently spread it to cover.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, prepare an optional glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf before serving.
