FOR THE BREAD:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk
4 cups allpurpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
FOR THE CINNAMONSUGAR FILLING/ TOPPING:
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
** you may have more than you need depending on your preference
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9x5inch loaf pans and set aside.
Sprinkle oiled pans with cinnamonsugaroptional
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamonsugar topping ingredients and mix well.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla using a handheld mixer. Using a rubber spatula, add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda just until combined.
Divide half of the batter between the two prepared pans. Evenly sprinkle threefourths of the cinnamonsugar mixture over the batter in both pans. Spread the remaining batter evenly over the top of both pans. Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamonsugar over the top of both loaves. With a butter knife, cut a few swirl marks through the batter in both pans.
Bake for 4555 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean.
Allow the bread to cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
I enjoy one now and freeze the other loaf for a quick dessert or breakfast later.
Or gift the second loaf :)
