Layer the Batter and Cinnamon Sugar
Divide the batter roughly in half. Spoon half of the batter evenly into the two prepared loaf pans, spreading it gently with a spatula. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in both pans.Carefully spread the remaining batter on top, covering the cinnamon sugar layer. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter to create beautiful marbled patterns inside your bread.

Bake the Bread
Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center of each loaf. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, your bread is ready. -
Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges and transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy on the bottom.
