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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
