Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 Egg
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Carefully pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Step 8

Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter by making a few figure-eight patterns. Do not over-swirl; you want distinct ribbons of cinnamon inside the bread.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
