Instructions
For The Batter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the loaf pan (8 1/2 inches x 4 1/2 inches, a standard bread pan) so it lays over the wider part of the pan from right to left. Lightly oil the other two sides of the pan not covered in parchment.
Cream together butter, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar with an electric mixer.
Add eggs, milk, sour cream and vanilla to the bowl and mix well until combined.
In a medium bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
For The Cinnamon Swirl And Topping
In a third bowl mix together cinnamon, topping ingredients in a small bowl. A fork works well for this.
Layer the batter and swirl mixture. starting with ⅓ of the batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Add ⅓ of the cinnamon mixture to the batter, enough to cover the batter. Pour another ⅓ of the batter into the pan carefully smoothing it out, then layer ⅓ of the swirl mixture on top. Add the remaining batter smoothing it out carefully, then top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
Baking The Snickerdoodle Bread
Place the snickerdoodle bread in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick by inserting it into your loaf. The loaf is finished baking when the toothpick comes out clean with no batter clinging to the toothpick.
Let the bread cool for 10-15 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan. Cool the bread completely on a wire rack before slicing, then enjoy!
Notes
Use a standard size loaf pan for this recipe, 8 1/2 inches x 4 1/2 inches. A 9-inch loaf pan can also be used, but the loaf may be slightly thinner.
