Sweet Cinnamon Bread

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Add the egg and sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat together using a stand or hand mixer. Beat in the butter then add the vanilla and buttermilk and continue beating until everything is well mixed.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet batter. Combine the light brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

Butter and flour a loaf pan (I also placed a sheet of parchment paper in there for easy removal) and pour in half the batter. Sprinkle on half the cinnamon sugar mixture and top with the remaining batter. Using a butter knife, very gently swirl the dough, just a couple of times. Top with the remaining cinnamon sugar and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
