Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowls For wet and dry ingredients separately
  • 1 Hand mixer To cream butter and sugar
  • 1 Spatula or spoon For folding in flour and swirling layers
  • 1 Loaf pan (9×5 inch) To bake the cinnamon bread
  • 1 Wire rack To cool the baked loaf

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup unsalted butter - softened, about 1 stick
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar - packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk - or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup melted butter - for topping
  • ½ cup cinnamon-sugar mix - ¼ cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • A clear glass bowl filled with softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar being mixed using a red hand mixer. The bowl sits on a red and white checkered towel on a marble countertop. Natural daylight highlights the smooth, fluffy texture.

  • All-purpose flour and baking soda are folded into the wet mixture using a white spatula. In a separate bowl, cinnamon and sugar are blended together. The red gingham cloth and soft shadows create a homey kitchen scene.
  • A glass loaf pan is filled in layers with cinnamon-sugar and batter. A white spatula is used to swirl, and melted butter is poured over the top. The marbled surface shows rich textures, all atop a red checkered towel.

  • The loaf is fully baked with a golden-brown, crackled cinnamon crust. Still in the loaf pan or freshly placed on a wire rack, it radiates warmth and fills the air with cinnamon aroma.
