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

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together evenly.
  6. 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.
  7. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter to enrich the crust and flavor.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
