Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.75 cups Fresh orange juice
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 cups Prunes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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 flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and orange zest.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the orange juice, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add the chopped prunes to the batter and gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
Transfer the batter to 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.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
