Equipment

Ingredients

Batter

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lining with a parchment paper sling or spraying with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, sour cream, milk, oil, and vanilla extract and whisk together.
    1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 2 large large eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together until combined. Set aside.
    2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together.
    1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Add about 1/2 of the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter, then use a butter knife to swirl it in a few times.
  • Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon sugar layer, then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 50 to 65 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Notes

  • If your bread starts getting dark on top too quickly, loosely cover the bread with a piece of aluminum foil for the last 30 minutes of baking.
  • Greek yogurt is a good substitute for sour cream.
