Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Cinnamon filling

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8x4” loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined. Beat in vanilla and yogurt/sour cream. Add the flour mixture until just combined, do not overmix.
  • In a small bowl toss together the cinnamon and sugar filling.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle half the sugar filling in, then top with another 1/3 of batter. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar, then top with the remaining batter.
  • Swirl the sugar filling with a knife and then bake for 40-50 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a rack, slice and serve.
