Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour For the base of the bread
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Used for batter and cinnamon sugar
  • 2 tbsp baking powder For leavening
  • 1 tsp salt To enhance flavor
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon For cinnamon sugar topping and swirl
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Provides richness
  • 2 large eggs At room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk For a tender crumb
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For aroma

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  2. Add the remaining batter on top and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on the very top.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  4. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best texture, use room-temperature ingredients and let the loaf rest before slicing. You can serve warm or at room temperature, and consider additional toppings like cinnamon honey butter or maple syrup for extra flavor.
