Snicker Doodle Bread

*Snicker Doodle Bread*
Makes two loaves (9 by 5 inch)
one to keep and one to gift
 
This is a simple and yet delicious loaf.  The original recipe called for cinnamon chips.  We don't get those here so I used white chocolate chips I had tossed with some cinnamon sugar.  It worked very well.

225g of butter, softened (1 cup)
384g of sugar (2 cups)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
420g of plain flour (3 cups)
4 large free range eggs
2 tsp vanilla
120g of sour cream (1 cup)
265g of white chocolate chips, tossed with 2 TBS flour and 1 tsp cinnamon (1 1/2 cups)
(Or the equivalent in cinnamon chips tossed with 2 TBS flour)
You will also need:
4 TBS sugar
4 tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark4.  Butter two 9 by 5 inch loaf tins and dust lightly with flour, shaking out any excess.  Set aside.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and 2 tsp cinnamon together in a bowl.  Set aside.

Cream the butter and suar together until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time.  Beat in the vanilla and sour cream.   Add the flour mixture, stirring just to combine.  Coat the chips with flour and cinnamon (if using white chocolate chips) and stir them into the batter.  
 
Mix together the final amount of sugar and cinnamon.  Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf tins.  Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over top.  Spread the remaining batter over top.  Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.  Take a round bladed knife and swirl gently cutting down in and up in the batter without mixing in the cinnamon sugar too much.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.  Allow to cool in the pans for ten minutes before tipping out to cool completely.
