Cinnamon Bread

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 margarine
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

2.  Make 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.  Make topping: Stir together sugar, margarine, and cinnamon 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.
