Cinnamon Swirl Doughnut Bread

Cinnamon Swirl Doughnut Bread Bread: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup canola oil 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon molasses Topping: 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Preheat oven to 350º and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside until ready to use. In a large bowl or mixer, beat together oil, 1/4 cup butter and white sugar for 3-4 minutes, or until fluffy and lightened in color. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. Starting and ending with the dry ingredients, alternate between adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Remove 3/4 cup batter to a separate bowl, then mix in brown sugar, cinnamon and molasses until incorporated. Pour 1/2 regular (non-cinnamon) batter into your greased loaf pan, then take spoonfuls of cinnamon batter and drop them over the regular batter, continuing until half of cinnamon batter is used. Take a knife or toothpick and gently swirl batters together to make a marbleized look. Top with remaining 1/2 standard batter, then spoon remaining cinnamon batter on top. Repeat marbling process, being careful not to over mix. Place baking dish in oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.
