FOR THE BREAD:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups buttermilk

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

FOR THE CINNAMON-SUGAR FILLING/ TOPPING:

⅔ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
** you may have more than you need depending on your preference

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
Sprinkle oiled pans with cinnamon-sugar-optional

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon-sugar topping ingredients and mix well.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla using a handheld mixer. Using a rubber spatula, add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda just until combined.

Divide half of the batter between the two prepared pans. Evenly sprinkle three-fourths of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in both pans. Spread the remaining batter evenly over the top of both pans. Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the top of both loaves. With a butter knife, cut a few swirl marks through the batter in both pans.

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean.

Allow the bread to cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

I enjoy one now and freeze the other loaf for a quick dessert or breakfast later.
Or gift the second loaf 🙂
