Bread:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the milk to the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
