Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
• In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter in the pan.
• Pour the remaining batter into the pan and top with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Use a knife to swirl the batter gently, creating a marbled effect.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
