# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 23 × 13 cm loaf pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in buttermilk until evenly incorporated.
04 -
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender crumb.
05 -
Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre emerges clean.
06 -
While the loaf is baking, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the remaining butter in a separate bowl.
07 -
Allow loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and brush the melted butter over the warm surface. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
08 -
Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overmix the batter; a few small lumps are preferable for a soft, donut-like texture.
