Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup brown sugar packed

½ cup unsalted butter softened

2 large eggs

½ cup buttermilk or ½ cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup granulated sugar for topping

1 tsp ground cinnamon for topping

2 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar topping (granulated sugar and ground cinnamon combined).
Add the remaining batter and top it with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moisture, you can drizzle a simple glaze over the cooled loaf. Enjoy it warm for the best experience.
