Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
  3. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar topping over it.
  7. Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
