Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

  6. Layer half of the batter in the pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and then add the rest of the batter and remaining cinnamon mixture.
  7. Swirl with a knife gently to create marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
