Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl and topping. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
5. Mix in the sour cream until smooth and fully incorporated.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
7. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
8. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar on top. Repeat with remaining batter and topping. Swirl gently with a knife.
9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tent with foil halfway through if browning too quickly.
10. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Always let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top.
You can double the recipe and freeze a loaf for later—it holds up beautifully.
