Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract optional
- 1/4 cup brown sugar for topping
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gently combine the dry and wet ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay!
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and additional cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
