Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for filling and topping)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for filling and topping)
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour 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 bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the filling. Set aside.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar filling over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and gently spread it out. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar filling on top.
To make the streusel topping, mix the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, softened butter, and remaining ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to combine until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
