To make this delicious bread, gather the following ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. You’ll also need ½ cup of melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk or buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for the batter. For the topping, prepare 2 tablespoons of melted butter, ¼ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In one bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, and in another, mix the wet ingredients until smooth.
