Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter and set aside.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick but moist.

          Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

            Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

              Swirl It In: Using a knife or a toothpick, give the batter a gentle swirl to integrate some of the cinnamon sugar into the batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

                Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and enjoy your delightful Cinnamon Donut Bread!
