# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9x5-inch loaf pan. Grab a medium bowl and mix baking powder, salt, and flour together.
02 -
In a bowl, cream together the sugar, butter, and canola oil till it’s fluffy (takes about 3 minutes). Drop in eggs one by one and whip in the vanilla. Gradually mix in the flour mix and buttermilk, alternating them—start and end with the dry stuff.
03 -
Scoop out about 3/4 cup of batter into another bowl. Quickly stir in molasses, cinnamon, and brown sugar until it’s well mixed.
04 -
Pour half the regular batter into the pan. Add blobs of the cinnamon batter and swirl them in. Repeat with the rest of the batter layers.
05 -
Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. It’s ready when a toothpick comes out mainly clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it.
06 -
In one shallow dish, melt the butter. Mix both sugars and cinnamon in another shallow dish. Roll the cooled bread in the butter first, then in the sugar mix. Wait till it’s fully cooled to slice.
