Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 C All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 C Canola Oil
  • 1/2 C Buttermilk or homemade substitute*
  • 1/4 C Softened Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Molasses
  • 1 C Granulated Sugar

For the Coating:

  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 C Brown Sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 C Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1/4 C Granulated Sugar
  • Homemade Buttermilk Substitute: Mix 1/2 C whole milk with 1/2 tsp white vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat Your Oven: Crank up your oven to 350°F to set the stage for baking magic.

  • Initiate the Wet Mix: In a mixing bowl, seamlessly blend the canola oil, softened unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until uniform.

  • Add the Flavor Enhancers: Incorporate the room-temperature eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until you attain a silky-smooth mixture.

  • Create the Ultimate Blend: Gradually fold in the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt—along with the buttermilk. Mix until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

  • Craft the Cinnamon-Molasses Fusion: Set aside a half-cup of the bread batter. Add cinnamon and molasses to it, mixing until well-integrated.

  • Prep the Loaf Pan: Spritz your loaf pan with baking spray to ensure a non-stick experience.

  • Layer the Batters: First, pour half of the bread batter into the prepared pan. Layer this with half of the cinnamon-molasses fusion. Repeat with the remaining batters.

  • Swirl for a Marble Effect: Employ a butter knife or toothpick to swirl the two batters together, creating a mesmerizing marble pattern.

  • The Bake-Off: Place the pan in the preheated oven, baking for 45-50 minutes.

  • Cool Down: Once out of the oven, let the bread sit in the pan for about 10 minutes to cool slightly.

  • Loaf Liberation: Carefully detach the edges and sides of the bread from the pan, then gently lift the loaf out.

  • Construct the Coating: While the loaf is cooling, prepare your coating. In a large, shallow dish, mix melted butter with both types of sugar and cinnamon.

  • Double Dip: Immerse each side of the loaf in melted butter, making sure it’s fully coated. Follow this by dredging the loaf in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Feel free to sprinkle extra on top for that finishing touch.
