Cinnamon Loaf

Excellent - this definitely is a sweet, cake-like bread! Whenever you bake with buttermilk, you're bound to have a good experience and when I say good I mean super moist with a really great texture. This recipe is not unlike a lot of the other buttermilk cinnamon breads on this site which are all very, very good. I used white sugar for the actual "bread" and instead of making a topping I combined 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 1 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon, spread half the batter in the 9x5 baking dish then sprinkled the sugar/cinnamon mixture and topped it off with the rest of the batter. I baked the bread for 50 minutes and when it was cooled, topped it off with a vanilla glaze made from confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and a bit of milk. Overall, very good - especially with a cup of hot tea!

What a poor little neglected recipe! Only two reviews in three years! Kind of a shame, because it really is a gem. I decided on this as I was scouting around recipes trying to find one that would be a nice "vehicle" for a cup of blueberries I had hanging around. I believe it would be just as good prepared exactly as written but as long as I threw in that cup of blueberries I couldn't resist tinkering with the topping as well. I used all of the cinamon-sugar in the middle rather than just 3/4 of it. I topped the cake with a mixture of 1/4 cup sugar, 1/8 tsp. cinnamon and 1-1/2 tsp. cold butter. It turned out beautiful and SO delicious! It rose nicely and the topping has a delicate crunch. The cake has a moist, soft and tender crumb and has just the right sweetness. The cinnamon swirl adds both flavor interest and visual appeal. The blueberries I added were a nice addition but certainly not necessary to the success or taste of this wonderful loaf cake. Coming across this recipe today was a happy find. Note: With the addition of the blueberries this required extra baking time, a total of about 55 minutes.

I made this for a weekend brunch. It went over really well. Everyone loved it. I suggest serving this with a flavored butter! Try it toasted too...heavenly!

followed recipe exactly and it turned out amazing! Instead of butter milk I used skim milk just shy of 1 cup with 2 tbsp lemon juice and let it sit five minutes.

Awesome! I almost didn't bake this today but am so glad I did. I actually used all the cinnamon sugar mixture for the middle layer. And I added a topping of 1/8 tsp. of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of white sugar and 2T of cold butter. I mixed it up and sprinkled it right on top of the loaf right before baking. It took 55 minutes for the loaf to bake. Oooh...I wish you can smell the CINNAMONY scent in my house right now...so nice! The loaf baked up nicely and turned out so ONO...(super delicious)!!! The loaf is moist, tender and full of cinnamony sugar flavor! The buttermilk obviously makes this loaf moist with a nice texture. The cinnamon sugar swirl layer is tasty and makes the loaf look so pretty and noticeable when sliced. The topping produced a golden crumb resembling a "coffee-cake" feature. It is deliciously sweet with a delicate crunch! The ingredients, directions, baking time is perfect! There is no need to adjust or change this at all. Easy to make with wonderful results. I am real glad I came across this recipe today. And to date, there are only 8 reviews so far...wow!?!

good start, but not as cinnamon-filled taste as I was looking forward to. Think I might make more of a crumbled struessel type of mix to layer in the middle next time and may even think about adding nuts.

Recipe was very easy to make! I only baked it for about 45 minutes. I added extra cinnamon AND nutmeg to the mix! Next time Ill add even more cinnamon. To both the dry ingredients and the filling. I used the whole filling and used another user reviews idea of adding extra sugar and cinnamon with butter on top - came out crispy and golden! I would also add more vanilla and maybe some walnuts. Thanks for the recipe! The man loved it.

This recipe is SO GOOD! I have made it a lot and also given recipe to my friends. It took me awhile, but I found this excellent Cinnamon Loaf recipe :) As a matter of fact I'm going to make it now!

I made this recipe into muffins to take on our camping trip. They turned out delicious. They were moist, and full of cinnamon flavor. I did make a powdered sugar glaze to drizzle over the top of them. We had these for breakfast 2 days in a row while camping.

Great brunch addition !!

I was disappointed with this recipe. Even though I added an additional teaspoon of cinnamon, it turned out kind of bland. Also, if I were to make it again, I would use 3/4 cups of sugar, since 1 cup of sugar made it a little too sweet.

Wow! Simple, delicious recipe!
