Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl and Topping

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom and wider part of an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan, laying it from side to side. Lightly oil the other two uncovered sides of the pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, ½ cup white sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ⅓ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Mix with a fork until evenly blended.
  7. Assemble Layers: Spoon one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle one-third of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Repeat layering two more times, finishing with the cinnamon sugar topping.
  8. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean without batter.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove it using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • To enhance the cinnamon flavor, you can sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Serving warm with butter or cream cheese makes a delicious treat.
