Cinnamon Donut Bread Delight Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• Optional: powdered sugar for drizzle

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
9. Run a knife around the edges of the bread to loosen it from the pan. Then, invert the pan and gently tap it to release the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. If I prepared the optional powdered sugar drizzle, I drizzle it over the cooled bread before slicing.
11. Finally, I slice the bread and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Donut Bread Delight!

Notes:

• For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the batter.
• This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor!
