# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven nice and hot at 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×5-inch loaf pan and give it a good coating of butter or non-stick spray.
02 -
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl - this is your dry dream team.
03 -
Get your mixer ready! Blend the oil, softened butter, and granulated sugar until it's light and fluffy - about 3-4 minutes of mixing magic.
04 -
Drop in those eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in the vanilla and give it another good mix.
05 -
Start combining your wet and dry ingredients, but do it in three rounds, alternating with buttermilk. Remember: start and end with the dry stuff, and don't overmix!
06 -
Scoop out ¾ cup of your batter and mix it with brown sugar, cinnamon, and molasses in a separate bowl - this is your swirl mixture.
07 -
Pour half your plain batter in the pan, add dollops of half the cinnamon mixture, and swirl it with a knife. Then repeat with the remaining batters.
08 -
Pop it in the oven for 45-50 minutes. It's done when a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
09 -
Let it cool for 10 minutes, then dip each side in melted butter and roll in your cinnamon-sugar mixture. Let it cool completely before slicing into this beauty.
# Notes:
01 -
This bread combines the best of both worlds - the comfort of homemade bread with the irresistible flavors of a cinnamon sugar donut.
02 -
For the best swirl effect, don't overmix when creating the marble pattern - less is more!
