Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping swirl)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense loaves.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping swirl.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the two prepared loaf pans, spreading evenly. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top of the batter in both pans.

Step 7

Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon layer and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.

Step 8

Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter in each loaf pan to create a marbled effect.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
