Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Spoon one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  10. Layer with another third of the batter, followed by the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  11. Top with the remaining batter and gently smooth the surface.
  12. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover with foil for the last 10 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
  13. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack, cinnamon-side up, to cool completely.
