Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a larger bowl, beat together melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and buttermilk.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in red and green sprinkles into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
