Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it evenly, and then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter to create a marble effect.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread as is, or slather with butter or cream cheese for extra indulgence.
