This sweet cake-like bread is easy to make and great to serve at breakfast, with dinner or as a snack. It freezes well, so you can keep loaves on hand for yourself as well as for gift-giving. —Dorothy Bateman of Carver, Massachusetts

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk just until mixed.

Our 7th Grade Home and Career Skills class prepared this recipe in lab. Half of the students said they would make the recipe again. Some suggestions for improvement -

more layers of cinnamon sugar mixture, perhaps more "fat" because bread seemed dry.

We make this at LEAST once a week! It makes AMAZING French Toast, a perfect dipper for chocolate fondue and and excellent quick "grab on the go" for breakfast. We actually made 4 loaves last time and froze them. Fantastic!

My daughter has made this twice for us and it is light and delicious. There wasn't a slice left when we took it to church!
