For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you don't have a tube pan, a bundt pan will also work beautifully. Ensure the butter-sugar mixture is poured evenly to avoid any dry patches in the finished bread. Feel free to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts, or dried cranberries for the raisins, to customize the flavor profile.
