Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 unit Egg, large
• 0.5 cups Sherry wine
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts, optional)

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 medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This can be done with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 4

Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the sherry wine, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the sherry-milk mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 7

If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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