Cinnamon Sugar Preparation: In a small mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Once blended, set it aside for later use.

Batter Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, begin by creaming the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and eggs until the texture becomes smooth and uniform. Next, add the buttermilk, all-purpose flour, and baking soda, mixing well to achieve a consistent batter throughout.

ing the Loaf: Pour about half of your delightful batter into two well-greased loaf pans, making sure to split it equally. Go ahead and sprinkle that lovely cinnamon sugar mixture over the top. Just don’t forget to save a bit, about a quarter, for a tasty finishing touch!

Final Layering: Pour the rest of the batter into the two loaf pans, spreading it out evenly. Top it off by sprinkling the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture over each loaf.

Let’s get baking! Pop those loaf pans into your preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Let the delicious aroma fill your kitchen as you bake the bread for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy!

Cooling: After baking, it’s important to let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before taking it out of the pans. Then, it's ready to enjoy!
