Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup lingonberry preserves
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cup fresh or frozen lingonberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the buttermilk and lingonberry preserves, ensuring everything is well blended.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and the optional fresh or frozen lingonberries, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve on its own or with a smear of butter or additional lingonberry preserves. Enjoy!
