  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
  8. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture into the batter.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
