Ingredients

Batter

1 cup butter, softened Make sure it is at room temperature for easy mixing.
2 cups sugar

Method

Preparation

Cream together the softened butter, 2 cups of sugar, and eggs in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda. Mix until well combined.
Pour half of the batter into greased loaf pans, filling each one about a quarter full.
In a separate bowl, mix the 2/3 cups of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
Sprinkle three-quarters of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the batter in each pan.
Add the remaining batter to the pans, topping with the leftover cinnamon mixture.
Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture through the batter.

Baking

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 20 minutes before removing it.

Notes

Amish Cinnamon Bread is best served warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it plain or spread with butter. For a richer flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract to the batter. Make sure to swirl the cinnamon mixture gently for beautiful layers. To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. You can also customize by adding nuts or chocolate chips.
