Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glazing

  • Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar if desired.

Notes

Allow the bread to cool completely for clean slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them moist. This bread can be frozen; slice it before freezing for easy servings later.
