Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  2. In another bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense bread.
  4. Grease a loaf pan and pour the batter into it, smoothing the top with a spatula. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the batter.
  5. Bake the loaf for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough texture.
  • Ensure your oven is preheated to guarantee even baking.
  • Always check for doneness using a toothpick.
  • Room temperature ingredients help better incorporation.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg along with cinnamon.
