Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 loaf pan (9x5 inches)
  • 1 oven
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon additional cinnamon sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Sprinkle the additional cinnamon sugar over the top of the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruits to the batter.
This bread can be stored at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes well for longer storage.
