Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for swirl)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk (for glaze, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add milk and oil. Mix well.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.
  8. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
  9. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter gently.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. If desired, whisk powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze and drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Let the bread cool completely before glazing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This bread can be frozen without the glaze for up to 3 months.
