Ingredients

cup sugar
white granulated or light brown
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
ground (optional)
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
or regular all-purpose
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
white granulated
1 large eggs
beaten
1 cup milk, 2%
or whole
*
cup vegetable oil
or canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pure

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Lightly grease and flour 9" x 5" loaf pan.

In a small bowl, combine well the ⅓ cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg (if using); set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 1 cup white sugar.

In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, oil and vanilla extract. Add this to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the reserved cinnamon/sugar/nutmeg mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon/sugar/nutmeg mixture. Using a sharp knife, swirl through the batter to marbelize.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick tests clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minute. Run thin knife around edges of pan and remove loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the bread is completely cooled, wrap it in foil and let sit overnight, or at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. (This step is essential. If the bread is sliced immediately after cooling or while it is still warm, it may be dry.)

Love cinnamon swirl bread, it's delicious with some coffee or tea. This recipe sounds very simple but delicious, love the idea of using 2% milk and vegetable oil, which makes the bread lower in saturated fat. I will probably use half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour to make it even healthier :)

Really love the presentation, a few slices of the yummy bread with small purple flowers, green mint leaves, and a scoop of ice cream all look perfect on the plate. Very appetizing!

Actually, the container in the photo is filled with whipped butter to spread lightly over the tops of the slices (although it doesn't really need to be moistened because if you follow the instructions to wrap the bread and rest it, it will be perfectly moist, not needing any embellishment whatsoever).

I see, hehe. I thought it was a scoop of ice cream, that would be a delicious addition too :-)
