How to Make Christmas Cinnamon Loaf
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the streusel topping.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon streusel mixture over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining streusel topping.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
