Ingredients

Scale

2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
⅓ cup brown sugar (for filling)
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (for filling)
2 Tbsp melted butter (for filling)
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2–3 Tbsp milk (for glaze)
½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
In another bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract.
Gradually combine the dry mixture with the buttermilk until just mixed.
For the cinnamon filling, blend brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to form a paste.
Layer half the batter in the pan, dollop on cinnamon filling, swirl gently, then top with remaining batter.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling before drizzling with vanilla glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
