2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and the salt. In another
bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until smooth. Pour half
of the batter into a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons
cinnamon; stir in melted butter. Drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter in loaf pan; cut through
with a knife to swirl. Top with remaining batter. Drizzle with remaining cinnamon mixture; swirl with knife. Bake at 350 degrees
for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan
to wire rack to cool completely.
