Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually alternate adding buttermilk and dry ingredients until just combined.
For the swirl filling, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until thick.
Layer half of the batter in the pan; add swirl mixture; top with remaining batter.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before glazing.
