Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and set aside. Sprinkle oiled pans with cinnamon-sugar-optional In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon-sugar topping ingredients and mix well. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla using a handheld mixer. Using a rubber spatula, add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda just until combined. Divide half of the batter between the two prepared pans. Evenly sprinkle three-fourths of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in both pans. Spread the remaining batter evenly over the top of both pans. Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the top of both loaves. With a butter knife, cut a few swirl marks through the batter in both pans. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean. Allow the bread to cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing to wire racks to cool completely. I enjoy one now and freeze the other loaf for a quick dessert or breakfast later. Or gift the second loaf :)
