To Make the bread batter:

- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon.
- Over batter in pan, sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Pour other half of batter over cinnamon sugar layer.
- Top with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture and slivered almonds.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean.
To Make the almond glaze:

- After baking, let bread sit for 5 minutes, then drizzle glaze over top.
- Allow to rest until cooled. Remove from pan and slice.
Chef Suggestions
- To make the bread dairy-free, substitute coconut milk yogurt for the whole milk yogurt and use a milk alternative in the frosting.
- To make gluten-free, substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour in a 1:1 ratio.
