👩🍳 Instructions:
🥣 First Step: Prepare the Batter
Cream together the butter, 2 cups of sugar, and eggs until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda, blending well to form a smooth batter.
🥄 Second Step: Layer the Loaves
Grease two loaf pans and pour half of the batter (or slightly less) into each pan, spreading it evenly.
🍂 Third Step: Cinnamon Swirl Magic
In a separate bowl, mix the 2/3 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in each pan.
Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon topping. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon throughout the batter, creating beautiful marbled patterns.
🔥 Fourth Step: Bake to Perfection
Place the pans in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45-50 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaves to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before carefully removing them. The rich aroma of cinnamon and sugar will fill your kitchen, promising a delightful treat.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
Slice and serve warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. This bread pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
💡 Baking Tips:
-
Make sure your butter is softened for easy mixing.
-
For an extra twist, add a handful of chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep the bread moist and flavorful.
