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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to make the cinnamon-sugar topping.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out gently with a spatula. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Step 8

Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl.

Step 9

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon loaf!
