Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 134 cups (438 grams) all-purpose flour
- 12 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Liquid and Dairy Ingredients:
- 12 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 14 cup (60 ml) whole milk
- 212 teaspoons (12.5 ml) vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream (for icing)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 14 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 23 cup Christmas sprinkles (plus more for topping)
- 114 cups (140 grams) powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
- Thoroughly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray and heat the oven to 350°F, creating the perfect baking environment.
- Using an electric mixer, whip butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a fluffy base.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending until just combined, then gently fold in sour cream and milk to create a smooth, rich liquid mixture.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gently merge the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to maintain the batter’s delicate texture and eliminate any flour streaks.
- Tenderly fold sprinkles into the batter, being careful not to overmix, then transfer the colorful mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean. Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Craft a silky glaze by whisking powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until perfectly smooth. Drizzle over the completely cooled bread and garnish with an extra sprinkle of colorful decorations.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold sprinkles into the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture and prevent the colors from bleeding.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow butter, eggs, and sour cream to reach room temperature for smoother blending and better rise.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum to maintain the bread’s structure and softness.
- Storage Tip: Wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container to keep it moist for up to 3-4 days at room temperature.
