✨ **Ingredients**
**For the Loaf:**
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🍚 ½ cup granulated sugar
🥄 2 tsp baking powder
🧂 ½ tsp salt
🌿 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
🥛 ½ cup milk
🥚 1 large egg
🌼 ½ tsp vanilla extract
🧈 ¼ cup melted butter
**For the Glaze:**
🍚 ½ cup powdered sugar
🥛 1–2 tbsp milk
🌿 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, optional
👩🍳 **Preparation:**
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to **175°C (350°F)**. Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3️⃣ In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
4️⃣ Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6️⃣ Bake for **30–35 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7️⃣ Let the loaf cool in the pan for about **10 minutes**, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
✨ **Make the Glaze:**
Mix the powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons of milk and a little cinnamon until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled loaf and let it set before slicing.
💡 **Helpful Tips:**
✔️ Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
✔️ Don’t overmix if you want a soft, fluffy texture.
✔️ Start checking the loaf during the final few minutes of baking.
✔️ Let the loaf cool before glazing so the glaze stays beautifully on top.
🍎 **Optional Add-Ins:**
Try adding chopped pecans or walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins, diced apples, a cinnamon-sugar swirl, or even a crunchy streusel topping.
📦 **Storage:**
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to **3 days** or refrigerate for up to **1 week**.
You can also freeze individual slices for up to **2 months** and thaw them at room temperature before serving.
Soft, moist, warmly spiced, and topped with a sweet glaze—this Cinnamon Donut Loaf is perfect with coffee, tea, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 🍩🤎
