Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 0.75 cups Orange juice
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 units Large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the orange zest, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, melted butter, and eggs until smoothly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly dispersed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the orange raisin bread as is, or with a light spread of butter. Enjoy!
