Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 1-loaf pan, ensuring it’s ready for your delicious creation.
-
Mixing the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the white sugar and shortening until smooth and well combined.
-
Incorporating Ingredients:
- Add the eggs to the sugar and shortening mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the milk, white vinegar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
-
Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
-
Combining Wet and Dry:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense loaf.
-
Topping Preparation:
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create your tantalizing topping mixture.
-
Assembling the Loaf:
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
Layering the Goodness:
- Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture and raisins over the batter in the pan, ensuring an even distribution of sweetness and flavor.
-
Completing the Layers:
- Pour the remaining batter over the sugar and raisin layer, followed by sprinkling the remaining sugar mixture and raisins on top.
-
Baking Magic:
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serving Suggestions:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the cinnamon loaf from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Serve warm, and if desired, spread a generous amount of butter on top for an extra indulgent treat.
Enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Loaf, a delectable creation that’s sure to impress with its heavenly aroma and delightful taste! 🍞🥮
