Amish Cinnamon Bread is a delightful treat with its sweet, cinnamon swirl and moist texture. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- For the Bread:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups buttermilk
- For the Cinnamon Mixture:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the cinnamon mixture.
- Pour about 1/4 of the batter into each greased loaf pan. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the cinnamon mixture over the batter in each pan. Repeat layers, ending with the cinnamon mixture on top.
- Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Slice and serve the bread either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
