Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for the swirl
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for the swirl

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch Loaf Pan
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Mix the 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Cream the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar together until fluffy, then beat in the egg.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and add them to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
  4. Layer half the batter in a greased loaf pan, top with most of the cinnamon sugar, add the remaining batter, and swirl gently with a knife.
  5. Top with the last bit of cinnamon sugar and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 50 minutes.

Notes

  • Wait at least 20 minutes before removing the bread from the pan so the heavy, warm structure does not collapse.
