Ingredients
For the Bread:
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup milk
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
For the Topping:
⅓ cup melted butter
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
Cream oil, softened butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix into the wet ingredients with milk until just combined.
Remove ½ cup batter to a small bowl and stir in cinnamon and vanilla for the swirl.
Pour half the plain batter into prepared pan. Add cinnamon batter, then top with remaining plain batter. Swirl gently with a skewer or knife.
Bake for 45–60 minutes (mine took 64), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
Remove loaf and roll in melted butter, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture on all sides.
Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Flavor twist: Use brown sugar in the swirl for a deeper caramel note.
Add-ins: Mix in chopped nuts or raisins for added texture.
Storage tip: Wrap tightly to keep moist; reheat in oven to restore crust.
Freezer-friendly: Wrap tightly and freeze up to 1 month.
