Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl.
Step 2: Beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 2 large eggs in a separate bowl until creamy. Add 1 cup cooled Colombian coffee and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
