 Ingredients

For the Bread:

● 2 cups all-purpose flour

● 1/2 cup sugar

● 2 tsp baking powder

● 1/4 tsp salt

● 1/2 cup milk

● 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

● 1 large egg

● 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

● 1/3 cup sugar

● 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

● 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Icing:

● 1 cup powdered sugar

● 2 tbsp milk (or more for desired consistency)

● 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

 Instructions

1: Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2: Make the Bread Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry, stirring until just combined.

3: Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.

4: Layer the Bread: Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Drizzle with half of the melted butter and sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter, then top with the rest of the butter and cinnamon-sugar. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.

5: Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6: Make the Icing: In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.

 Tips:

    Extra Cinnamon Swirl: Double the cinnamon-sugar mixture if you love bold swirls!

    Serve Warm: Heat slices for a few seconds in the microwave for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.
