Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • ⅓ cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Set the oven rack to the center position and preheat to 350°F.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
  • In a small bowl combine ⅓ cup dark brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a pan or microwave, and then cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and pale yellow in color, 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in melted butter and vegetable oil into the egg mixture until incorporated.
  • Whisk the milk, sour cream, and vanilla into the egg mixture.
  • Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Gently fold the flour mixture until just moistened, with some lumps and flour spots remaining. Do not over mix the batter.
  • Add half of the batter to the pan.
  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over batter.
  • Top with the rest of the batter, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture on top.
  • Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture with the batter, up and down into the batter, and around the pan in swirls, but do not completely mix.
  • Bake the cinnamon bread until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the bread is set, or internal temperature reaches 205 to 210°F with a thermometer, about 45 to 55 minutes. Cover the bread loosely with foil about 30 minutes into cooking to prevent the top from getting too brown.
  • Cool cinnamon bread in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully remove and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Slice when it’s cool enough to handle.
