Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar For the swirl
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs For structure and richness
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk For moisture
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter For tenderness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  3. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  5. Pour about half the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Sprinkle a layer of cinnamon sugar over the batter.
  7. Add the rest of the batter on top, followed by more cinnamon sugar.
  8. Using a butter knife, gently swirl through the batter to create a ribbon effect.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

For added texture, consider incorporating chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips. To store, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. The bread keeps well for 3 days at room temperature or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
