Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon for the batter
- 1 cup milk room temperature
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
- Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, beat milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold wet mixture into dry just until combined; do not overmix.
- Stir together brown sugar, 1.5 tbsp cinnamon, and melted butter to make the swirl.
- Spread half the batter in the pan. Sprinkle on half the cinnamon swirl. Add remaining batter and top with remaining swirl.
- Drag a knife through the layers in a gentle S pattern to marble.
- Bake 50–55 minutes, until a tester comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in pan 15 minutes, then lift out to a rack. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Variation: Fold 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans into the batter for crunch, or drizzle a simple glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar mixed with 2–3 tsp milk) over the cooled loaf. Storage: Wrap tightly and keep at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
