Ingredients:
For the Batter:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Slowly combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
3. Layer the Batter:
Pour half of the batter into the greased loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the swirl. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter.
Add the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
4. Swirl & Bake:
Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool & Serve:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
