Amish Cinnamon Bread
Ingredients:
For the Batter:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and eggs together until the mixture is fluffy and pale. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and finishing with the flour. Mix just until blended—avoid overmixing.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Layer the Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Divide about half of the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Sprinkle roughly ¾ of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in each pan. Spread the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar over the second layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
- Bake: Place the pans in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 20 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy this sweet and flavorful bread that your family will adore!
