-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Cream together the 1 cup sugar and the shortening until thoroughly combined and lightened.
-
Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
-
Blend in sour cream and milk.
-
Stir together flour, salt, powder and soda; add to creamed mixture.
-
Mix just until thoroughly combined.
-
Spread 1/4 of the batter into each of two well-greased loaf pans.
-
(I use 7"x3" pans, but you can also use the more common 8"x3" pans.) Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
-
Sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon over the batter in pans.
-
Top each with remaining batter.
-
Cut through the batter gently with knife to make the cinnamon swirl throughout.
-
Do not over mix.
-
Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over the top.
-
Bake 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
-
Try to let them cool before cutting.
