Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. - Mix the dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. - Combine the wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth. - Incorporate wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. - Pour and bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Prepare the topping:
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. - Cool and top:
Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. While still warm, sprinkle or dust the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top. - Serve:
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this bread as is or with a smear of butter!
