📝 Preparation Steps
1
Swirl filling:
2
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
ground cinnamon2 teaspoons(250g) all purpose flour (lightly spooned and leveled)2 cups¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3
Bread:
4
Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the center of the oven. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
(250g) all purpose flour (lightly spooned and leveled)2 cupsbaking powder1 teaspoon
5
In a large bowl, whisk oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, and sour cream until combined. Add half of the flour mixture and whisk until almost fully combined. Whisk in milk, then remaining flour mixture, being careful not to overmix. Tap the excess batter off the whisk and give the batter a couple thorough stirs with a silicone spatula, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.

6
Grease a 9x5* inch loaf pan. Pour half the batter into the pan. Top with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture, then add the remaining batter. I like to dollop the top layer of batter all over the cinnamon mixture and then gently spread it with an offset spatula. Once the top batter is spread, use a thin sharp knife to swirl the cinnamon layer into the batter. I do a back and forth figure-8 across the length of the pan and then back again.

Combine the topping ingredients: 2 tablespoons sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and sprinkle on top of the batter.
ground cinnamon2 teaspoons(250g) all purpose flour (lightly spooned and leveled)2 cups¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8
Bake for ⏱️ 42-52 minutes (mine took ⏱️ 44 minutes), until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake. Place the loaf pan on a rack to cool completely. Tip: I like to run a thin sharp knife between the bread and the pan and then give the loaf a shake back and forth so any excess cinnamon sugar on top of the loaf settles down into the sides (extra flavor!).

Glaze:
10
Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth and combined. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar (to thicken) or more milk (to thin). Drizzle over the cooled bread. Serve warm.
