Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to make the cinnamon swirl layer.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and smooth it out gently. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon layer together, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of the loaf for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
