Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.75 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting berries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the raspberries and blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf during baking.
Gently fold the floured berries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
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.
Slice and serve the Raspberry Blueberry Tea Bread on its own or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
