How to Make Orange Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons orange zest, and 1 cup milk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
