Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: powdered sugar for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread texture.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
  6. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter surface for a sweet crust.
  7. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center which should come out clean when done.
  8. Cool Bread in Pan: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to firm up.
  9. Release and Cool Completely: Run a knife around the edges to loosen the bread, invert the pan carefully, and release the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Add Optional Drizzle and Serve: If desired, drizzle powdered sugar over the cooled bread before slicing. Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature to enjoy maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar in the batter.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to one week.
  • Optional additions like nuts or chocolate chips can be incorporated into the batter for extra texture and flavor.
