Instructions
1. Preheat and prepare pans
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two standard loaf pans (9×5 inches).
2. Make the batter
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy.
In another bowl, whisk flour and baking soda together.
Add buttermilk and the flour mixture alternately to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
3. Prepare cinnamon/sugar mix
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
4. Assemble the loaves
Pour half the batter into the loaf pans.
Sprinkle ¾ of the cinnamon/sugar mix evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon/sugar.
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon into the top layer.
5. Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and serve
Cool in pans for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
