Instructions
PREPARATION. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease, flour, and line a 9×5 inch (22.5 x 12.5 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.Measure all the ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon.
MAKE THE BATTER. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.Add the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to low.Gradually mix one-third of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Repeat the process, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and generously sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Using a stick, swirl the cinnamon sugar around. (See NOTE!)Add the remaining half of the batter and top with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Remember to fill your pan up to 3/4 only to give space for the batter to rise. You may have extra batter. (See NOTE!)
BAKE AND COOL. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester or skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
STORE. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
You may have extra batter. Bake the extra batter in a smaller pan or muffin pan, if you don't wish to waste it.
