Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine 2 sticks of softened butter, 2 cups of sugar, and 2 eggs, and beat until creamy.

Add 2 cups of buttermilk, 4 cups of flour, and 2 teaspoons of baking soda to the mixture and mix until combined.

Switch to a wooden spoon when the batter becomes too thick for the beaters.

In a separate bowl, mix together 2/3 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Grease and flour two loaf pans.

Pour a fourth of the batter into each loaf pan.

Sprinkle a good amount of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in each pan, saving some for the top.

Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon sugar layer in each pan, spreading it carefully.

Top with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick at 50 minutes.
