Ingredients

For the Bread

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour This forms the base, providing structure for your Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder A key leavening agent that ensures your bread rises beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Just a pinch enhances all the flavors in the bread.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon This aromatic spice is the star of the show.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Creates a rich, tender crumb; make sure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the deal beautifully.
  • 2 large eggs Help bind the ingredients and add moisture to the loaf.
  • 1 cup milk Adds richness and keeps the bread moist.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A splash of vanilla enhances the flavor.

For the Topping

  • ½ cup granulated sugar Adds that crunchy sweetness on top after baking.
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Creates a delightful cinnamon-sugar topping.

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until uniform.
  • In another bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Pour in milk and vanilla extract into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter.
  • Pour the remaining batter over the first layer and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Using a knife, gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store your Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread in an airtight container to retain its moisture and flavor.
