Amish Cinnamon Bread

• servings: 20 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

3 3/4 cups cake flour*, you can also use all purpose flour

3 cups granulated sugar

1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

3 large eggs

1 3/4 cups whole milk

1 1/3 cups vegetable oil

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat your oven to 325F Grease two 9x5 loaf pans and line with a 'sling' of parchment paper. I like to spray or butter the parchment paper itself as well, see note below. Iif you only have one pan that's fine, just bake the second bread later.

Cinnamon sugar

Whisk the sugar and cinamon together in a small bowl and set aside.

Amish bread

Whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Make sure everything is well combined, then add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until there is no dry flour left, don't over mix. Lumps are fine.

Pour the batter evenly into your two prepared pans. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top of both loaves.

Bake for about 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it. Moist crumbs are fine.

Cool the bread on a cooling rack, and if you have used the parchment paper, lift them out after 15 minutes or so. If you didn't use parchment, go around each loaf with a blunt knife to loosen all the edges, this bread has a tendency to stick.
