Ready In: 50 mins
Yields: 2 loaves
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup light sour cream
- 1⁄4 cup skim milk
- 2 cups flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together the 1 cup sugar and the shortening until thoroughly combined and lightened.
- Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
- Blend in sour cream and milk.
- Stir together flour, salt, powder and soda; add to creamed mixture.
- Mix just until thoroughly combined.
- Spread 1/4 of the batter into each of two well-greased loaf pans.
- (I use 7"x3" pans, but you can also use the more common 8"x3" pans.) Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon over the batter in pans.
- Top each with remaining batter.
- Cut through the batter gently with knife to make the cinnamon swirl throughout.
- Do not over mix.
- Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over the top.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
- Try to let them cool before cutting.
- (My family always has a hard time waiting--).
