🍩✨ Dolly Parton’s Cinnamon Donut Loaf ✨🍩
A simple, tender loaf with that classic cinnamon-sugar donut flavor—perfect with coffee! ☕🤎
📝 Ingredients
For the loaf:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup powdered sugar
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small loaf pan or several mini loaf pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).
- Bake for about 30–40 minutes for a standard small loaf, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mini loaves may take 20–25 minutes.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.
- Brush the warm loaf generously with melted butter.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar. For an extra donut-like finish, you can also sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar.
🤎 Tip
For the best texture, serve it slightly warm with coffee or tea. The buttery cinnamon flavor is especially good when freshly baked!
