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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour 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 bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the filling. Set aside.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar filling over the batter.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and gently spread it out. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar filling on top.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the loaf.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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.
