Ingredients

• 300 g all-purpose flour
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 115 g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 240 ml milk
• 1 egg, large
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1.5 tsp cinnamon
• 70 g brown sugar, packed

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a standard loaf pan (approx. 9 x 5 inches).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender loaf.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon-sugar ribbon.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.

Step 7

Layer the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Step 8

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter and cinnamon-sugar ribbon together. Avoid over-swirling to keep distinct cinnamon ribbons.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
