Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries with a spatula, being careful not to crush them too much.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the bread around the 40-minute mark, and if the top is browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
