Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar

- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in each pan.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, dividing it evenly between the two pans.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter in each pan.
- Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes before removing from the pans.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade Amish Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Bread
