Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the red and green sprinkles carefully to avoid bleeding.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
