Cinnamon Bread

Ingredients

Bread

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons margarine
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • For bread: Beat flour, sugar, buttermilk, eggs, oil, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until well combined, about 3 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan; smooth the top.
  • For topping: Stir together sugar, margarine, and cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly; sprinkle over batter. Use a paring knife to swirl batter for a marbled effect.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Remove bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If you don't have buttermilk, you may substitute it with milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar to measure 1 cup.
