Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 1-lb loaf pan with parchment paper, or spray well with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the butter with the granulated sugar and the brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and beat in.
