Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: A pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
  7. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
