Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together evenly.
- Layer Batter and Swirl: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Repeat by pouring the remaining batter on top followed by the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled cinnamon effect.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter to enrich the crust and flavor.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean when the bread is fully baked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy as desired.
Notes
- For extra sweetness and moisture, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled bread.
- Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream to add a tangy flavor and maintain moisture.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh for several days.
