Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup melon-flavored soda (like Cantaloupe or Honeydew soda)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melon-flavored soda, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir gently just until all ingredients are combined, making sure not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  4. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
  5. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
  6. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Glaze: While the bread cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon until smooth and pourable.
  8. Glaze the Bread: Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the cooled bread, letting it set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra texture and flavor, fold in 1/4 cup chopped nuts or white chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
  • This soda-infused quick bread has a light melon twist that makes it a refreshing dessert or snack option.
  • Pairs beautifully with coffee or tea for an elevated snack experience.
