Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
– ½ cup brown sugar
Equipment Needed
– 9×5-inch loaf pan
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer (or a whisk)
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Rubber spatula
– Parchment paper (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan well and, if you like, line the bottom with parchment paper for an easy release. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—this can be a great way to get some air into the mix! Then, in another large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. The texture should be airy and melt-in-your-mouth good!
