Amish Cinnamon Bread
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two standard loaf pans (e.g., 9×5 inches).
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup softened butter, 2 cups sugar, and 2 eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 4 cups flour and 2 teaspoons baking soda. Add the 2 cups buttermilk and the flour mixture alternately to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Create Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture: In a small separate bowl, mix together the ⅔ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- Assemble the Loaves: Pour about half of the batter (or a little less) into each of the two greased loaf pans. Sprinkle about ¾ of the cinnamon/sugar mixture evenly over the batter in both pans. Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon/sugar layer, spreading it evenly.
