Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Cinnamon Topping
  • 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tsp Unsalted Butter, Melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a loaf pan; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla to the dry mix. Beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Take a knife and cut lightly in a swirling motion for a marbled effect.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50 minutes. The edges will pull away slightly, and the top will be golden brown.
  2. Check doneness with a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Remove the loaf and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for even mixing. Buttermilk keeps the crumb tender and tangy. Measure flour by spooning into the cup. Keep an eye on the mixing to avoid overmixing.
