Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for your batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract to blend flavors evenly.
  4. Incorporate Milk: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring until all liquid ingredients are combined to form a smooth batter.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  8. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the batter surface to create a sweet, flavorful crust.
  9. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  10. Cool the Bread: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb texture.
  • Use fresh baking powder for best rising results.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • For an extra donut-like touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk once cooled.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
