I think the world would be a better place if we just sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on everything. I swear, that stuff is what dreams are made of. I want to roll in it. Bathe in it. I want my first child to be a sugar cube. That, my friends, is commitment.
Also, what did I just say?
I know I’m not making much sense right now. I blame it on the food coma I’m in from the long Labor Day weekend. One thing you should know about my family is that we looooveeeee to eat. Love love love to eat. We’re the kinda people who will be sitting at an all-you-can-eat buffet, stuffing our mouths with crab legs and pasta salad, and be talking about what our next meal will be. Some call us glutinous. We prefer insatiable flavor and texture investigators.
So anyways, this last long weekend was full of food. We had some German friends stay over for the week, and to celebrate before they left, we decided to hold an early party on Sunday and invited all of our extended family. We deemed it our “Axis Powers Party” since we had apple streusel and three types of German sausage, Japanese sashimi and octopus salad, and Italian appetizers. Pretty original party theme, huh?
Annnnnd today, I went over to Kyle’s family’s house and feasted on enormous tacos, apple pie, and chocolate cake.
I am so full I could pass out. I am never eating again… until tomorrow.
But back to this bread. Let me tell ya a bit about THIS bread.
First off, the amount of deliciousness in this bread is out of control. Perfectly moist, a thick double layer of swirled cinnamon and sugar, and drippy vanilla glaze. This is BY FAR the best cinnamon swirl bread I’ve ever had in my life.
Second off, I can’t even remember what else I was going to say. I keep looking at my screen at these photos and wanting to stuff 7 pieces in my mouth pronto.
TELL ME YOU’RE AS EXCITED AS I AM.
This is the kind of bread that makes you excited to get up in the morning. I’m typing this up at 10 o’clock at night and honestly can’t wait for it to be morning so I can dive into a slice with a cup of coffee in hand. *Swoon*. That’s a perfect morning, if you ask me!
Recipe adapted from Taste of Home
My only problem with this right now is it’s the morning, I have my coffee beside me… but none of this bread. Life is cruel!
Love the idea of using buttermilk too
Sounds like you had a reeeeally delicious weekend followed by this reeeeally delicious bread *jealous* *swoons*
This is such a thing of beauty!!
And as an Irish girl I strongly approve of the use of buttermilk in any and all baked goods 😉
Oh my gosh this bread!! It is just gorgeous. And cinnamon-sugar for eeeeeverything! Love this Christine
I would be so excited to get out of bed with a slice of this waiting!
Glad I’m not the only one who is obsessed with cinnamon/sugar on everything! Bring on the Fall baking hahah!
Ahhhh get in my belly NOW! Looks delish
oh yeaaaaa.. this.. and coffee. = one happy cait!
That bread…oh my gosh! My family is the same way. I think on any vacation we are basically constantly eating.
Glad my family isn’t the only one who lives to eat hahah 😉
Oh my gosh… I want some! Just pinned this! Can’t wait to make it 😀
Woot woot! Let me know if you try it out and thanks for pinning :)!
This looks like an awesome recipe for the weekend! I think there’s a step missing- I’m guessing the 1/3 c sugar gets mixed with the cinnamon? I have all these ingredients except for the buttermilk, so I’m pretty pumped about this one!
Ooops, you’re right! Thanks for catching that- I just fixed it :). It’s honestly delicious! Let me know how it turns out for ya if you do end up making it!
Shut upppp with this swirly deliciousness! That photo with the knife and the swirlyness and the gooeyness… YUM. Need!! When we hang, can you please make this for me?
xox
Life would be so much better cinnamon sugar coated! This bread looks so tender and sweet! Pinned!
I’m a big fan of eating, and this bread would be reason enough for me to wake up in the morning. In fact, I think I may dream of it tonight. It’s like perfection on a platter.
Pretty sure that is a standard party with food from all over the world.
That bread….no words.
I spent a good chunk of my weekend surviving off of oatmeal and trail mix, so you definitely put me to shame on the foodie front… but that’s what I get for going road tripping 😛 And I totally agree that the world would be a better place if we added a little sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar to everything. Let’s get on that.
I want to live in that cinnamon sugar world you speak of! Looks gooooorgeous and seriously perfect for a weekend breakfast with the family.
I could get down with an iced coffee and that whole loaf!
Sooo can I like join your family!?!?! Mine isn’t as excited about food as yours. I wish. Ugh, cinnamon sugar makes EVERYTHING better. Love the pics!!
This bread looks ridiculously delicious!! It would certainly entice me to get out of bed in the morning
Your family sounds like mine – my grandmother regularly brainstorms dinner while still eating breakfast.
So while I was on a AoME cooking streak, I also made this bread! Thanks goodness I did too, yumma! It’s gone now and I literally wasn’t even able to put the glaze on before people started eating it!
Isn’t the bread magical?! It’s even better (if that’s possible) with a big cup of coffee in the morning. Also, I need to hire you as my personal recipe tester hahaha! You’re one of my favorite readers, hope you know that ;).
😀 awww i didn’t! Thanks that makes me feel good!
all the feels…
Hehe not a job I would mind! yummy!
Hi there, can one freeze this cake or how many days would it stay fresh in an airtight container? I want to make it prior to Xmas brekkie x
Hi Bernie! I’m not sure how freezing the bread would turn out, but it would stay fresh in a refrigerated container for 5-6 days
Love the look of this bread. Can I substitute the buttermilk for another healthier ingredient?
What ingredient did you have in mind :)?
I’m not sure what ingredient can be substituted for, for buttermilk. Any ideas?
