I love this bread! It makes your house smell so good when baking in the oven. The cinnamon sugar swirl looks so pretty. My bread came out with a crunchy top and moist inside. I did not use nuts since I didn't have any at home, but they would make this even more divine. Absolutely perfect to serve at a brunch or shower!
Yield: 1 loaf (15 servings)
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnut or pecans (Optional)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup oil
In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Set aside
In mixing bowl, mix remaining 1 cup Sugar, Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, Egg, Milk, Oil. Stir until combined. Batter will be a little lumpy.
Pour half of batter into greased loaf pan. Sprinkle half of cinnamon, sugar, nut mixture on top. Pour rest of batter in pan. Top with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Swirl with rubber scrapper or butter knife, not completely mixing all the layers.
Bake in preheated 350* oven for 65-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
(make sure to check for doneness; my bread cooked for 60 minutes and then needed an additional 5 minutes for the toothpick to come out clean)
Cool on wire rack. Slice and serve warm or cold, with or without butter. Enjoy!
Sweet Dreams,
