Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature for best texture
  • 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk for a tangy twist
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast, tent loosely with foil.
Topping & Cool
  1. While the bread is still warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Let it soak in and crisp up as it cools.
  2. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice once fully cooled.
