Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Tangerines (zest and juice)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Tangerine juice
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and tangerine zest using your fingers to rub them together. This releases the natural oils in the zest for extra flavor.
Add the melted butter, eggs, tangerine juice, milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar and zest mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is, or enjoy with a smear of butter or cream cheese for added indulgence.
