Ingredients

For the bread:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk or Half and Half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

For the cinnamon swirl:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the egg, milk or Half and Half, vanilla and sour cream.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Pour about half of the batter into your prepared pan.
  • In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl. Dollop spoonfuls of the mixture over the batter in the pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the bread.
  • Add the remaining batter to the pan, followed by the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture, and run the knife through the batter again.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool for 10-15 minutes before turning it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
