Equipment

  • 9 x 5 loaf pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
 
 

For the cinnamon mixture (filling and topping):

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the loaf

  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
 

For the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and the sugar. Set aside.

For the Loaf:

  • Grease and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg and buttermilk and beat until well incorporated.
  • Siff the flour and the baking soda into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over the batter.
  • Cover with the remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar on top of the batter.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let the bread cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to fully cool.
  • Try very hard not to eat the whole loaf in one sitting.
