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 cinnamon 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 easy creaming with sugar.
- For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar in the batter.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature.
