Cinnamon Ribbon Bread recipe image

This Cinnamon Ribbon Bread is a comforting, sweet loaf that combines the tenderness of a pound cake with the warm spice of cinnamon rolls. Made with a rich batter of butter, sour cream, and eggs, it creates a moist, dense crumb that holds up beautifully to slicing. The key feature is the “ribbon” effect: layers of cinnamon-sugar mixture are folded into the batter before baking, creating beautiful swirls of spice and crunch in every slice. Topped with chopped pecans, it offers a delightful texture contrast. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon treat with coffee. Simple to make with pantry staples, this homemade bread brings a touch of elegance and warmth to any table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177ðC).
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup of the sugar until creamy and light in color.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon.
  7. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  8. Spoon about one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Sprinkle one-third of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  10. Repeat the layering with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture, ending with a layer of batter on top.
  11. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top, pressing them gently into the batter.
  12. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  14. Remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool completely on the rack before slicing.
