Yield:1 (9×5-inch) loaf

Bread:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Topping:

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. To make the bread: Beat flour, sugar, buttermilk, eggs, oil, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until well combined, about 3 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan; smooth the top.
3. To make the topping: Stir sugar, butter, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until crumbly; sprinkle over batter. Use a paring knife to swirl batter for a marbled effect.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Remove bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can substitute buttermilk with whole milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar to measure 1 cup.
