Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

Bread

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour [spooned & leveled](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/how-to-measure-baking-ingredients/)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup whole milk at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup full-fat sour cream or plain yogurt/Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • vanilla icing optional

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5-inch or 8×4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • For the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
  • Make the Bread: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, milk, oil, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  • Pour/spread about half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle almost all of the cinnamon-sugar evenly on top. Carefully pour/spread the remaining batter evenly on top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top. Use a knife to make a large swirl down the loaf pan.
  • Bake the bread for 50–65 minutes, tenting loosely with foil halfway through. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Allow cooling in the pan for 1 hour before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Drizzle with icing if using, slice, and serve. Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For longer storage, freeze the bread for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave overnight in the refrigerator.
