Description
This Buttery Snickerdoodle Bread is a dreamy blend of cinnamon, sugar, and soft buttery crumb. Inspired by classic snickerdoodle cookies, it’s the perfect cozy treat to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or gift to friends and family. The golden cinnamon-sugar top adds a delightful crunch, while sour cream keeps the bread moist for days.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cinnamon-sugar mixture (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extract. Mix in the sour cream until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, don’t skip the almond extract—it adds a bakery-style note.
Let the loaf cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.
To freeze, wrap individual slices and store for up to 2 months.
