- preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the loaf pan with a sheet of parchment (9×5″).
In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of cinnamon sugar and set aside. - Sift flour into a large bowl, add baking powder, salt, a cup of sugar, and stir.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk and vegetable oil. Pour the resulting mixture into the flour and beat with a hand whisk until smooth.
- Pour half of the dough into the loaf pan. Then sprinkle with half the cinnamon mixture. Repeat: pour the remaining dough and sprinkle with the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
