Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease two loaf pans.
  2. Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in buttermilk, flour, and baking soda until just combined.
  3. Mix cinnamon and sugar topping in a small bowl.
  4. Divide half the batter between loaf pans. Sprinkle with about three-quarters of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Spread remaining batter over each loaf, top with remaining cinnamon sugar, and swirl through batter with a knife.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Delicious warm or toasted with butter. For extra richness, add a simple vanilla glaze after cooling.
