 Submitted by: June Shockley

This is a wonderful quick bread to enjoy on Christmas morning.
Makes 2 loaves

Ingredients

Mix dry ingredients together 

• 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 T. cinnamon
• 1/12 t. baking powder
• 2/4 t. baking soda
• 3/4 t. salt

Combine liquid ingredients and then add to dry

• 3 beaten eggs
• 1  3/4 cups whole milk
• 1 1/3 cups oil
• 1 t. vanilla

Directions

Baste bottoms of 2  8x4 1/2 loaf pans ( I like to line bottoms and 2 sides with parchment paper.

Mix 2 t. sugar and 1 t. cinnamon together and sprinkle on bottom and sides of pans. Reserving some for top.

Fill pans evenly

Sprinkle remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture over top.

Bake 350 for about 1 hour.  Check to see if done by inserting a toothpick, it should come out clean.  The top probably has a crack if it is done. Remember, you can serve a slightly over-baked bread, but you cannot serve raw, under-baked bread.  But, at the same time try not to over-bake.
