Whisk together 1 large egg in a bowl.

Add 1 cup of whole milk to the egg and whisk together.

Add 1/4 cup of canola oil to the mixture.

Add 1/3 cup of sour cream (optional) to the mixture and whisk until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and whisk together.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

In another bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of white granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Grease a 5x9 inch bread pan with shortening and dust with flour, ensuring all sides are covered.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared bread pan.

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the batter.

Pour the remaining batter into the pan and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Use a butter knife to swirl the batter gently, creating a marbled effect.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (176°C) for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes before removing it.

Run a cake spatula along the edges to loosen the bread from the pan, then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
