Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling and Topping:

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with baking spray and set it aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, stir together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until combined. Set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and stir it in.
  • Add in the buttermilk, and vanilla extract, and slowly stir it in until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir them together until just combined, with no dry patches.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and the cinnamon.
  • Add half the batter to the pan and smooth out the top.
  • Sprinkle 2/3 of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  • Spoon the remaining batter evenly over the top.
  • Add the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top of the batter. Gently swirl it with a butter knife.
  • Bake the bread for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool for 10 to 15 minutes in the bread pan, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
