Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.5 cup strong brewed coffee
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the orange zest to distribute the flavor evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, strong brewed coffee, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.
Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Orange Coffee Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
