| Orange Loaf with Dried Apricots and Pecans My morning was full of baking and cooking...not sure what came over me but my family is very happy about it. For this recipe I referred to the tried and true, good old Joy of Cooking. If you do not own this cookbook yet I highly recommend it, it is a staple in my kitchen. This recipe was a hit with my family. Orange Loaf with Dried Apricots and Pecans from Joy of Cooking Have all ingredients at room temperature Position rack in lower third of oven Preheat to 350 degrees Whisk together thoroughly: | |
| 1 1/2 cups | all purpose flour |
| 1 tsp | baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| Combine in another bowl: | |
| 1/4 cup | milk |
| 1/4 cup | orange juice |
| Grated zest of 1 small | lemon |
| Grated zest of 1 | orange |
| In a large bowl beat on high speed until lightened in color and texture, 2 to 3 minutes: | |
| 6 Tbsp | unsalted butter |
| 2/3 cup | sugar |
| Gradually beat in: | |
| 2 large | eggs, lightly beaten |
| Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk mixture in 2 parts, beating on low speed or stirring with rubber spatula just until incorporated and scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Fold in: | |
| 2/3 cup | coarsely chopped pecans |
| 1/3 cup | finely chopped dried apricots |
Scrape the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely on the rack.
Delicious!!
