Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup sugar (for swirl)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8×4″ loaf pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer), cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
In a separate liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together milk and sour cream and set aside.
With the mixer on low speed, add 1 cup of flour and the baking soda to the butter/sugar/egg mixture, mixing until incorporated.
Pour the milk and sour cream mixture into the batter, mixing to combine.
Add the remaining 1 cup of flour to the batter, mixing just until incorporated.
Transfer half of the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Add about 3/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter, then top with the remaining batter and remaining sugar.
Use a knife to swirl the batter in a back and forth motion, allowing the cinnamon sugar to swirl into the batter.
Bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool completely before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is softened for better mixing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
This bread can be sliced and toasted for an extra treat.
