Servings: 2 loaves
Equipment
- stand mixer with paddle attachment
- bread pans
- non-stick spray or tinfoil
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- small bowl
- toothpick or knife
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups sugar plus 1/3 cup of sugar for the cinnamon swirl
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 cups flour
- 2 Teaspoons baking soda
- 2 Teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two bread pans by either spraying them with non-stick spray or lining them with tinfoil.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and 2 cups of sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, and continue to mix until everything is well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Gradually add the flour, buttermilk, and baking soda to the mixture, allowing the mixer to run slowly to avoid flour spillage.
- Pour one-quarter of the batter into each of the prepared bread pans.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar with the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
- Sprinkle one-quarter of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the pans.
- Divide the remaining batter evenly between the two pans, then sprinkle the tops with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar topping into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the pans and let them cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks
