Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar granulated
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or grease it with butter. In a bowl whisk the brown sugar with the cinnamon together until combined.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Set aside. In another bowl cream the butter with the granulated sugar until light in color and well combined. Add the eggs in one at a time and mix until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract and flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix until well incorporated and smooth. Note: the batter is a bit thicker than a regular cake batter. If your batter is too thick, add a bit more buttermilk, or if it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
  4. Pour ⅓ of the batter in the prepared bread pan and sprinkle with ⅓ of the brown sugar mixture, repeat with remaining batter and sprinkle remaining brown sugar mixture over the top. You should end up with 3 layers of batter and 3 layers of cinnamon sugar.
  5. Transfer the loaf pan to the oven and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean inserted in the center of the loaf. Cool in the loaf pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Buttermilk Substitute: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Batter Consistency: The batter for this loaf is thicker than your average cake batter. If it seems too thick, feel free to add a splash more buttermilk.
  • Checking Doneness: Every oven is a bit different, so starting at 45 minutes, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it's ready!
  • Topping Twist: For an added crunch, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts or a crumble topping on the batter before baking.
