2️⃣ Make the Cinnamon Swirl
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Set aside for layering in the loaf.
3️⃣ Prepare the Batter

4️⃣ Mix Dry & Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until fully incorporated.

5️⃣ Assemble the Swirls!
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar swirl.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter for a beautiful marbled effect.
6️⃣ Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
7️⃣ Brush & Serve!
