Snickerdoodle Bread and My Giveaway Win!

 For my tea today, I am sharing the wonderful electric tea kettle that I chose from winning a $100.00 Williams-Sonoma gift card from Michael Lee West at Rattlebridge Farm.  Michael Lee is such a generous and kind person,  and she is also the host of Foodie Friday.  I have a butler's pantry between my kitchen and dining room and I have it set up now as my tea station.

 

An electric tea kettle is so quick in preparing the tea water.  THANK YOU Michael Lee!  I will think of you each time I use my new kettle, and which for me,  is several times a day! It's so shiny and pretty, don't you think?

 

 

I was gifted this pretty mug with a picture of my newest granddaughter.  Isn't this adorable? I'm going to sip some cinnamon vanilla tea from Trader Joe's. 

 

In looking for a recipe to use a package of cinnamon chips that I had in the pantry,  I found this wonderful recipe at Barbara Bakes .  It has such great flavor and it's like eating a snickerdoodle in bread form! 

Ingredients

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cup cinnamon chips (1 pkg. Hershey's)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350º.   Spray the bottom of two 9 x 5" loaf pans with cooking spray that has flour.  (I actually used 3 mini loaf pans and one 7 x 3 1/2" loaf pan.   Barbara used 5 mini loaf pans.)
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and 2 cups sugar, until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and sour cream and mix to combine. Add flour mixture and mix just until combine. Do not overmix.
4. Coat the cinnamon chips with 2 tablespoons flour and stir into batter.
5. Spoon batter into greased pans (Don't fill more than 2/3 full.)
6. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the batter in the pans.
7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a crack in the center of the loaf comes clean. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Remove from pan and let cool completely before serving.
