Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk or homemade buttermilk (2 cups milk + 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice)
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cups sugar (for cinnamon/sugar mixture)
2 teaspoons cinnamon (for cinnamon/sugar mixture)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and 2 cups of sugar. Add eggs and mix well.
- Alternate adding buttermilk and combined flour and baking soda to the creamed mixture, blending until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix 2/3 cups sugar and cinnamon.
- Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon mixture over the batter in each pan.
- Divide the remaining batter between the pans, covering the cinnamon mixture. Top with the remaining cinnamon mixture and swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pans for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For homemade buttermilk, let milk and vinegar mixture sit for 5 minutes before use.
