Brooke mentioned that she would prefer lemon or orange bread to my usual fare-banana bread. I remembered two great recipes-one for lemon poppy seed bread from my friend Lucy, and my Mom's orange bread. I have the recipe on a small yellow lined piece of paper, in my Mom's handwriting. She got it from Deedy Marshall in Ludlow, VT. Using fresh squeezed orange juic, with pulp, makes this bread extra moist and orangiffic!
2 C flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder butter.
1/4 tsp baking soda
2/3 C sugar
1/3 C sweet butter (soft)
2 eggs
1 C orange juice with pulp
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp orange extract
Mix dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs to creamed mixture. Alternatively, add flour and OJ. Mix well. Add extracts. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. If desired, make a glaze by mixing 1/4 C sugar with 2 TBSP OJ. Pour over warm bread.
