Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle half over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the topping, then sprinkle the rest of the topping on top.
  10. Gently swirl through the batter using a knife.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  12. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
