How to Make Italian Fresh Prune Plum Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon orange zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup sour cream to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and 2 cups pitted and chopped prune plums.
  8. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy your delicious homemade Italian Fresh Prune Plum Bread!
