1 cup granulated sugar The primary source of sweetness that elevates the bread’s flavor.
½ cup unsalted butter (softened) Adds moisture and richness to the bread.
2 large eggs Acts as a binding agent, imparting easiness and moisture.
1 cup milk Promotes a tender crumb and helps combine all the components.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor profile with a hint of sweetness.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then pour in milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed; small lumps are acceptable.
Pour half the batter into the pan, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, top with remaining batter, and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top.
Gently swirl the top of the batter with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
