Orange Pumpkin Loaf image

I had not tried a pumpkin bread with orange in it, and I love oranges and orange juice! So, I plan on making this soon. This recipe is from Allrecipes. I plan to tweak it, or add options.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium organic orange (since we'll be eating the peel)
1/3 cup(s) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup(s) white sugar
1/3 cup(s) light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 cup(s) canned pumpkin puree
1/3 cup(s) water
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup(s) whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon(s) cloves
1/2 cup(s) walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup(s) raisins or dried cranberries chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Cut orange, into wedges, and remove seeds. Place the orange with peel and all, in a food processor. Pulse, until finely chopped; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugars, until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time; then, stir in pumpkin, water, and the ground orange.
  • Mix together flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Stir into batter, just until moistened. Stir in nuts, and chopped raisins or chopped dried cranberries. Spoon into prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake 1 hour, or until tests clean with a toothpick, near the center. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf or 12 servings.
