Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in the orange zest to evenly distribute it throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, prepare the streusel by combining the brown sugar, cubed cold butter, all-purpose flour (for streusel), and ground cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture is crumbly.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your Orange Streusel Loaves with a cup of coffee or tea!
