Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ cups white sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Directions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 7-inch round cake pan or a suitable pan that fits your air fryer basket.
- Mix ⅓ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, the remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk, and oil, then add to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a knife to swirl the mixture through the batter to create a marble effect.
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check for doneness, as air fryers can vary in cooking time.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap in foil and let sit overnight before slicing.
- Serve and enjoy!
Feel free to adjust the cooking time based on how your air fryer performs!
