Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with unsalted butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in milk and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out.
  • Mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle half over the batter.
  • Pour the remaining batter into the pan and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean with a few crumbs.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  • Slice and enjoy your Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread warm or store for later!

Notes

Ensure room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fluffy texture.
