Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk (or substitute with 2 cups milk + 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice) For dairy-sensitive bakers, using milk and vinegar is a good alternative.
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
Cinnamon sugar mixture
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two standard loaf pans thoroughly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Stir in the buttermilk, followed by the flour and baking soda. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until smoothly incorporated.
  4. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until well blended.
  5. Pour about half of the batter into each prepared loaf pan.
  6. Generously sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in both pans.
  7. Carefully distribute the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer in each pan, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  8. Using a butter knife, gently swirl through the layers using a figure-eight motion to achieve that classic cinnamon swirl.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pans for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
