- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups sugar divided
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons whole milk
Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease the bottom only of a 9x5-in. loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and salt. Combine buttermilk, egg and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar.
Pour half the batter into the pan and sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar.
Add the remaining batter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar; cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
To a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk. Drizzle over loaf.
- Sift the confectioners’ sugar before making the glaze. This ensures that the glaze is completely smooth, with no lumps.
