Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar together.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into each loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter in each pan. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Swirl the Cinnamon: Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter for that signature cinnamon swirl effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
