Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing just until no dry flour remains.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the topping.
- Brush the top of the batter with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
