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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.

Step 8

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 9

Pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it evenly, and then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.

Step 10

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter to create a marble effect.

Step 11

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Slice and serve the bread as is, or slather with butter or cream cheese for extra indulgence.
