I just love this bread! It's very moist, extremely easy to make, great for gift giving, makes great french toast, but best of all it tastes great!

Yield: One 9x5 inch loaf

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons white vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup pecans (optional)
• Topping
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons margarine or butter
• 1/4 cup pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x5 inch loaf pan. In large mixing bowl add the first 10 ingredients, beat 3 minutes. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Smooth top. Combine 3 tablespoons white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and butter, mixing until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over smoothed batter. Using knife, cut in a light swirling motion to give a marbled effect. (sprinkle top with 1/4 cup crushed nuts) Bake for about 50 minutes. Test with toothpick. When inserted it should come out clean. Remove bread from pan to rack to cool.
