Super Cinnamon Ribbon Coffee Cake

Super Cinnamon Ribbon Coffee Cake (adapted from Salt and Chocolate)

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup brown sugar

2 heaping tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease/line a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, and salt together in a bowl and set aside. Stir the buttermilk and vanilla together in a large measuring cup or small bowl and set aside. Stir the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.

Cream the butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, one at a time, mixing well between each. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix till combined, followed by 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture. Repeat this process, mixing until just combined after each addition and end with the flour.

Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and top with 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture and repeat until the final layer of cinnamon sugar becomes the topping. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
