Easy Amish Cinnamon Bread

One of my friends (thanks, Karen) posted a recipe link on Facebook that I just had to try.  I love cinnamon ~ just the smell of it baking makes me happy (:

This Amish bread was very light; it didn't have the dense consistency of most quick breads.  But it tasted delicious.  A perfect treat for breakfast!

Ingredients (2 loaves)
1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk or 2 cups milk plus 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice

4 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

 

Topping ~ Cinnamon/sugar mixture:

2/3 cups sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease two loaf pans.

Mix together the topping ingredients in a small bowl.  Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar, and eggs.

 

 

Add the flour, baking soda, and milk.  Mix just until combined.

Fill each prepared pan 1/2 full.  Sprinkle with 1/4 of the topping.

Add the remainder of the batter to each pan, and sprinkle with the remaining topping.

 

Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon and sugar into the batter.

Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until done.

Cool in pans for 20 minutes. 
Remove and enjoy!  ♥
