Cinnamon Swirl Pound Cake Loaf Version

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mix over the batter. Spoon in the remaining batter and top with the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mix. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the top of the batter.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
