Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or using a stand mixer on low speed, mix the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until just combined.
  4. Form Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just moistened; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fill Loaf Pans: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pans, filling them about two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
  6. Add Cinnamon Swirl: Mix the additional tablespoon of cinnamon with sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the pans, then gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled cinnamon effect.
  7. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes for mini loaves or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely or slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture in the bread.
  • If using standard loaf pans, baking may take approximately 50-55 minutes; adjust time based on your pan size.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for richer flavor.
  • Try serving slices toasted with butter or cream cheese for an extra special treat.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger batches or multiple loaves.
