# Ingredients:

→ Batter

01 - 375 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 12 grams baking powder
03 - 5 grams salt
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 200 grams granulated sugar
06 - 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 240 milliliters whole milk
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cinnamon Sugar Topping

10 - 100 grams granulated sugar
11 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 23×13 cm loaf pan with unsalted butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and 200 grams sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until homogenous.
05 - Gradually fold dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. In a small bowl, mix 100 grams sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle half over batter.
07 - Add remaining batter to the pan. Top with remaining cinnamon sugar. Gently swirl through the loaf with a knife to marble the layers.
08 - Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
09 - Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - Do not overmix the batter; gentle folding maintains a light crumb.
